Creating MS Access applications to interface with a database

[Guest]

Hi
I downloaded free running software. The database was created in MS Access. I
want create a similiar database for my own personal use but tailor it to my
needs. What I don't know how to do is to create the inital application. I
don't know what that's called. If it's called a form or a template.
I can send you the database and the form or point you to the website. There
are no viruses or anything like that. I'm just looking to modify the programs
application to suit my running needs.

Does the database file end in .mdb or .mde? If .mde, you are out of luck.

Are there other files in the program? It could be created in Visual Basic
and just use the Access database file to hold data. In that case you need to
learn Visual Basic.

Thanks for responding.
The database is .mdb file. The application is a .exe file. I don't know how
to check if it is a .mde file.
I guess I'm also confused with terminology. It is an application file. I
don't have a problem learning visual basic. I know C++, and can navigate
around that.
How do I create an .exe file?
Here is the website just to see what I'm talking about.

It looks like he has spun his own interface and is using the MDB to
store data. I really did not go very far into it.

HI Thanks.
Do you think the interface was created with VB? Maybe Foxpro?
Thanks.
I tried emailing him but got no reply.
Is the correct term interface?
Thanks again.

Thanks. I'm getting the books to learn it from the library.
