b,
A stand-alone version that doesn't require installation of Access? I think
that's the run-time version.
But, I think you mean a .MDE file.
That hides your code and prevents design changes to forms, but you still
need to have MS Access installed.
Search here or Google for "Microsoft Access" and "MDE".
There are some precautions that require strong error trapping and
BACKUP of the original MDB file.
Hope that gets you a small step closer.
