Can a user without Access use my project

[Guest]

I've developed a form, tables, and queries that I would like to be able to
send to people that work for me. The only problem is, they don't have
Access so they haven't been able to use it. Is there anything I can do to
make it so they can use my form?

Only if you purchase the developers version and package up your application
along with the run-time version of access.

For users to use your Access database without the full product you need to
have one of the Developer editions which includes the royalty free Access
Runtime.

For Access 2003 you can purchase Microsoft Visual Studio Tools. This product
contains the Developer Extensions which include a royalty-free Access
Runtime enabling distribution of Access solutions.

For Access 2002 and earlier you need the Microsoft Office Developer product
for the appropriate version. Here's a link for OfficeXP:

Visual Basic doesn't contain the Access Runtime. Visual Studio Tools for the
Microsoft Office System is what you need if you are using Access 2003.

If you've developed an application in Visual Basic which strictly uses a jet
..mdb file as the data store, then you don't need Access to distribute the
application since you won't need the runtime.

In Access 2003 you have the ability to create a HTML web page. It has java
script conectivity. In one experiminet whth a Company Phone Book I deleted
records on the spreadsheet presentation of the HTML data. The records in the
table were deleted. I stoped that by useing a snapshot query. But you can
deciminate and present data via html using Pages.
