    Stand Alone Database Application

    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 don’t 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 :)
