Hi,

i dont know if i am posting this in the right forum but i have a completed access database it consists of forms and querys. i just want to know can i make this database an executable file so when i click on it just the forms will appear on screen so the user can navigate through the forms?

You cannot convert a .mdb into an .exe

If your users have Access installed then they can easily open and use your database. If not, then you can install the runtime version of access for them to use your database but your database has to be bullet proof with error trapping and user navigation to move through your forms and reports, etc. Search around for your question has been asked and answered in many threads.

i am using access 2007 basically all i want to do is set up the database so users can use it but they can only see the forms/GUI's i have created.

Search the forum for there are many threads discussing how to hide the navigation window, menu bars [ribbon] and other stuff that you do not want the user to see or access.
