Access convert too exe?

[CoMMiE]

Hi

Is it posible to convert a Access database into exe so that a pc wouldnt need a copy of mircosoft Access in order to run it?

No, but you can ship only the runtime part of Access.

i don't think it's possible to make a completeley independent exe file, but you can compile it into a .mde file. the users would then need to have some access components installed, but they would not have the full version of it

to do this, go Tools, Database Utilities, Make MDE File

if you look in access help under About MDE Files, it will give you the full lowdown on the pros and cons of doing this

hope this helps.

You can use MS ODE Tools to make a setup program for your MDE database
