If I write a complex form in ACCESS how can I then make it into a stand alone desktop application? I know how to write it in VB and then connect using ODBC and make it stand alone...can you do this in ACCESS?

Thanks.
 
There is a developer version of access: "Access Developer Edition". It will allow you to compile .EXE's from an access .MDB file. This, however, is not a trouble-free conversion: you will have to manually copy any needed related .DLL files (and they exist) to any computer you install your "program" on.

What I'm saying is that you can do this, even though it's probably not the best option. --
