Stand Alone Database Application

On Database » Microsoft Access

Is is possible to create a stand alone database application that a

user can run without Access being installed. I used to have a program

on my old Commodor 64 called Codex that did this. I would like to do

this also with windows.

If Access does not do this, does anyone know of a program that will do

it?

Thanks,

jeff :)

    • Check out "Access Runtime" - it can be installed on users machines and

      is a cut down version of access & its Free . if you have a copy of

      Office developers or Visual studio You can develop the database in

      Access and users can run it with runtime

      I have users using it without any problems to date

    • You can create a run-time version for distribution.

      I dont think the standard version of Access will

      allow you to do this, you will need the developer edition

      or better.

    • I don't think there is a "better" version (more features, perhaps) than the

      Developer's Edition?

      A mde isn't a stand alone database. It still requires Access to run

    • Hi Tony,

      Thanks for the info. I am not in any way a programmer and I certainly

      do not understand all of the capabilities of Access. The nice thing

      about the old Code X program was that you didn' thave to know anything

      other then where to place the fields. It was really slick.

      Jeff :)
