Access Database without Access!

[SUS Help]

I have a Access Database, but I don't have Access on the User machines. What
are my options? We really don't want to load Access on the machines and need
to purchase more license for it. The Users will need open this database,
view and add information into it. It has a nice Front End to it. Any ideas?
Is using the Developer Kit for Access and the Access RunTime files work??

 

[Arvin Meyer]

You can buy the Office Developer's edition for your version and build
runtime packages for your users. You get unlimited licenses (although the
runtime files cannot develop any objects and are limited in some of their
other functionality.

Will the Users be able to enter information into the database?

 

[George Nicholson]

Yes, they will be able to enter & add data. They will be able to view
existing forms and run existing reports.

They will not be able to create *new* forms and reports with runtime, or
make design design changes to existing forms and reports.
