Compilation?

[Guest]

Hello, I have an application I made in Access2000 format.

I have VB7 but not MS Jet compiler.

What is the easiest way to compile the application so that it can work in
computers without Access license?

Thanks
Kamil

If your app is Access app, users must have Access installed or have Access
runtime installed (if your app is developed with Access developer edition\MS
Office developer edition, you can distribute Access runtime). End of story.

If you want to do something with VB7 (it is VB.NET, I believe) do avoid
Access /runtime installation, you have to redo everything from beginning,
and forget everything you wrote in that app.

It is impossible to compile an Access database.

Your two alternatives are to redo the entire user interface in Visual
Basic (Access Forms and VB Forms may look similar but they are
different in design and structure!), or to purchase the Access 2000
Developers Edition. This allows you to create and distribute a
royalty-free Access runtime with your database.
