How do I create a stand alone application with Access

[JohnLee]

Good day,

I want to create a stand alone application with Access, but do not know how to go about doing that. I have the Microsoft Office 2000 Developer version along with the MSDN files associated with it.

It will be used by any number of people so it needs to be able to be open with multi user in mind.

Any advice/assistance would be most appreciated.

If you have the Office 2000 Developer edition, you can use the packaging and deployment wizard to create an installation which will install the Access Runtime and associated files you want. It really isn't a "stand alone" in the true sense of the word because it still requires the Access program to run, but the Access runtime is basically a redistributable, limited version of Access which lets users run the mdb/mde files without having to have the full-version on their computer.
