Hi,

This may be off the wall, but I figure the programming newsgroup would be
the best source. I have an Access application that I would like convert to a
stand alone package (exe file, I don't want the user to need access or
runtime). Can someone tell me which programming language would be best to
convert an access application to???? My application is simple with command
buttons, memo fields, list boxes and I need to able to control margin size on
printed output. I've considered Visual Basic, Visual C, etc, but I thought I
would ask this group for more insight.

Thanks,

Realistically, it's whatever you're comfortable programming in. VB is the
closest to VBA, so you'd probably be able to salvage some of your code.

I'm not sure any language is particularly good for printing reports, though.

If you are good with VBA in Access I would recomend VB.Net for a stand alone
executable, VB.Net does it all... Take Care & God Bless ~ SPARKER ~
