Hi, I was recently searching on the site for information leading to the compiling of an .exe file from the Access database. What I come to realize is that this is not possible. I was led to the MS Visual Studio 2005 for MS office studio and the MS Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions for it to use the Access runtime (As I came to understand) without having to install Access. If I am at all wrong up to this point please let me know. I was just wondering about that for clarification, my real concern is regarding the size of my database and the problem making it into an MDE.
As of now, my program is at roughly 30 mb, which I did not think was too incredibly large. However, Access will not allow me to create the MDE file. Where I think my problem is lying is that I have images scanned into the DB and then text boxes on top allowing me to essentially type a form and print it out.
Is there a better, more size efficient way of doing this? I have a hunch that it is the images that are not allowing for the MDE export, but I did not think they were all too large in size. If anyone has any comments that may help I would be very appreciative. Thanks in advance.
