Stand alone Application

Hi

I would like to know how to save or export or compile an Access application
so that it is able to run the application (forms, etc) without having Access
installed onto the PC from which the application is running from

Thanx!

That´s only possible with the Access-Runtime and only when you have
Access-Developer Version
(so you can incluside a mini-access-version for your project), otherwise you
need Access for using.

What is Access-Runtime and is the Access-Developer Version available for
download or purchase only?

It´s a "small" Version of MS Access for running Access-project without
having a license of Access. I guess, You would found many pages with
informations:
like here http://www.poplarware.com/accessruntime.html
or here office.microsoft.com/en-us/ assistance/HA011208861033.aspx

by Microsoft gives a special Office-Version for Developer. When you have a
license of that developer product, you can use the Access-Runtime to build
an own Access-Application and your user needn´t a licence of MS Access.

Look at the site of Microsoft for getting information about that!

Purchase only. More technical information than you want at the
Microsoft Access (Office) Developer Edition FAQ

Is Access Runtime available for download somewhere (Maybe the newest one)?
So, there is no license needed for Access runtime and can be distributed on
many PC's?

So if I can install Access Runtime on every PC that I have without having a
license for each one (in other words, without having to pay anything for
distributing it on my PC's), I can also just create a database in MS Access
without the use of MS Developers Edition and still be able to run these
databases on these PC's with just the Runtime edition installed? What I thus
want to do is to develop a database that I can run on multiple PC's without
having to pay for more than 1 access license (the one I already have for the
development). Will I then be able to do this with just installing the Runtime
versions on these PC's? It doestn't necessarily have to be a stand alone
application, as long as I can run it on every PC without needing to aquire an
access license for every PC.

Thanks!

The runtime is free *for your users*. You have to buy the appropriate
developer's software for your version of Access to be able to legally give
anyone the runtime.
