Why compile VBA code in Access?

In Access 2000's Visual Basic design environment, what is the purpose/advantage of doing a Debug - Compile?

Are there any DISadvantages?

I tried this on a project with a bunch of modules, classes and code modules behind forms, and it took about 1 second!
The project is a bit larger but doesn't appear any faster.

Thanks, DaveBo

It can help to identify compiling errors and some run-time errors especially if you use the Option Explicit directive ...

Well, it doesn't seem to have any disadvantages
and it does catch some coding errors.

It also apparently has nothing to do with making MDE files, so nothing is "lost".
