Compile access file

[npapade]

hello to the experts
is there any way or method to compile an access .mdb file to .exe
and don't be the need to open it with the access programm?
(eg. to a computer wirh no access installed)

Runtime

If you have the Office Developer you can make a package and use it without Access installed.

As Pat Hartman will tell you, there is no way, EVER, to make an access database an executable file. You can create a RUNTIME version of your database, if you have the developer's edition, which will allow you to use an Access database without having a full version of Access (the RUNTIME still has to be installed).

It is possible to use an mdb file for the storage facility for a Visual Basic, Visual C++, etc. program, but you would need to have that programming tool available and then the mdb file is good ONLY for the tables and queries, and you cannot use forms, reports, etc.
