Database on customer's PC

[John Drake]

What do I do when I have created the MS Acess Database, and I want to install
it on the customers PC, but he has not got Access on his PC?

Whoever the customer is (either business or private), they should have a
Windows Office installation disk.

It isn't cheap (unless you are using Access 2007) but you can convert your
db that you develop into a runtime version that everyone will be able to use
even without the full MS Access program installed.

If the customer doesn't have Access, you can use am Access Developer's
edition to build a copy for him. In versions earlier than Access 2007, this
was a paid program, and is different for each version. Access 2007 version
of the developer's kit is freely downloadable from Microsoft.

Hi,
Thanks for the help, but I think that I still have faaaarrrrrr to go to
learn a little more about Access - not to mention 'Run Times'. But will I
then be sorted (sort-of) if I have Access 2007.

Regards

The only difference is that the runtime is free for Access 2007, as opposed
to costing money.

You'll still have to ensure that your application will work properly as a
runtime application, and you'll still have to package your application up
with the runtime for distribution.
