Easy one - forms

[Hondy]

Can anyone tell me if you can create a form in access and run it independantly or do you need a license? If I had a SQL database but wanted my users to use an access form do they all need Access or would you write the form in something else?

Thanks

You need a distribution/development kit for Access if users are going to run Forms, Reports, etc without Access. Basically you would have to create an executable application that runs under Windows. You could check Microsoft's website for more information on this product.

You could use any development language tool to connect to MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server or Oracle (there is no such thing as a SQL database) - Visual Basic, Delphi, C++, you name it.

I personally would choose Delphi, but you could use just about any language to connect to a standard database.
