Question How to open access database file in run time mode

[shandoo27]

Hi,

I have created a MS access 2007 database with a set of forms and tables. Now I need to give the user the application to use . I don't want the user to be able to modify the forms or change the tables . It should no longer be a MS access file but just an application for use . Could anyone guide me as to how to do it . I am new to MS access , so please forgive me if this doubt is trivial .

Thanks for the help in advance.

You'll need to get and install the Developers extension.

Hi Shandoo,

I think what you asking between the lines is how to convert your access file into a exe application file.
That however is sadly not possible.

The closest you can get to it, is to convert to a mde file, give your client a RT version (if they don't have full MSAccess installed) and also look at security to protect your database against changes (like disabling the bypass-shift key etc)

Getting your database "commercial ready" is not an easy task, but go for it and good luck!
