Hey everybody

I have just a short question: Is it possible to run a access database from a CD without Microsoft access installed. I want to make a database with product information to send to clients.

tnx

Yes, It is called a runtime Access. You only need the development version of Access to build and distribute them.

Just remember that if the client opens the database FROM THE CD, it will be, of course, READ ONLY...you may or may not get an error message from Access as it attempts to open the database.



There are two ways to argue with a woman - neither one works.
