Application Query

[beiber39]

Hi,

I am pretty new to using Access but have developed a nice working data base for my Roman coin collection. It displays coin images, has fields for all relavant coin data and pull down options etc. Works very nice.

I have a simple (probably stupid) question - How do I produce a working application program from the data base? Do I need the developers tool kit or is there a simple way to make a workable application. Its very basic and works well.

Thanks, any help will be appreciated.

Regards

To deploy without the end-user having MS Access on their computer, you do need to package the program using MS Office Developer to create a runtime version.

If the end-user has MS access loaded on ther computer, you could compile the database into a MDE file. This will remove your source code and prevent someone from editing your forms, reports, and modules. There are some downsides to using MDE files, so do a little reading on that first. But then again there are downsides to using the access runtime.

But those are you two choices
