Database Applications

[ewong1]

I am fairly new to the concept, so bear with me. I am attempting to create a database application that runs just like any other executable. Is it possible for me to create my user interface and have users access the database with my own toolbars and graphics without the user actually owning a copy of access 97? If not, how do I create the database so that only my user interface shows? Thanks for your help!

I've run into this problem myself. At least where I'm located, it's impossible for anyone to run my Access application without having Access loaded on the user's machine. We are currently in the process of rewriting the application for the web instead.

Also, if you have Mac users, unless they have the capable of running Microsoft applications, they won't be able to use your application either.

If your lucky and all of your users have Access, then you should be able to get your Systems Administrator to put the application in a centralized location where everyone (with MS Access) can get to it.

How is the access developer version different from the professional version?
