How to package Database

[alireza1989@hot]

Hi, can someone please tell me how would it be possible to package my database!!!? I need to do it for my coursework. I thought may be the package and deployment wizard would be a good idea, but it isnt listed in my add-ins manager. Btw I am using VBA (Access and VB together).

Thanx in advance

The Package and Deployment wizard is only available with the developer extensions for Office and they are not free (with the exception of 2007, but they aren't out yet). So, I would suggest using UltimateZip or WinZip and creating a self-extracting zip file.

Thanks for your response. The problem is that I want to pack it so that I wouln't need to start MS Access again, and so it would just run independently. But with winzip, it is still dependent on Access.
Thanx again

Sorry, but Access is still dependent on Access unless you have the Developer version and then can package for Runtime use using the Package and Deployment wizard.
