Running Database in Stand Alone mode

Tracy · Mar 7, 2005

I created a client database, I need to be able to have the Database
"inputter" to only open the database, not Access...is this possible? So
basically have the Database run on it's own with having Access open at the
same time?

Thanks

Sorry, that's not possible without writing your application in something
like Visual Basic. If your application is written in Access then your client
will have to have Access on their computers. You can deploy a run-time
version of Access if you purchase the Developer's Edition.

MS Office XP Developer comes with a 'Runtime' version of Access which may be
what you're looking for, this allows you to distribute your Access
Application to user who don't have Access installed.

I have no experience of Office / Access 2003, so I'm not sure if this is
still a feature of the higher end Office packages.
