I just a have a question regarding using VB with Access.
With Windows XP (Home), what exactly does Access 2002
require to be able to run an access database that has some
visual basic components? Or does it support it
automatically? Do you need to have 'visual basic'
installed on the system for it to work?
If anyone has any information, I'd appreciate it ASAP.
Thanks,
Dave

All of the office applications from Excel, Word all down to ms-access have
VBA built in now.

So, if while you are in word, or Excel, you can whack alt-f11 and the whole
cool VB ide comes up. In fact, you have been able to do this since office
97.

On the other hand, you might be talking a about a VB application that
requites the mdb file format, and the so called JET engine. However, that is
a separate issue, and does not need ms-access in that case.

If you simply want to develop and build some application with ms-access, you
don't need anything additional, and the VB (A) programming language is
included as part of the package.

Thank you Albert for your help, that's exactly what I was
looking for. What we're developing is an Access database
application (using an .mdb file), and we just wanted to
add some VB functionality to the buttons, things like
that. We have Visual Studio installed on our machines,
but we just wanted to make the VB we put in the program
works on a machine with just Access installed.
Thanks again,
Dave
