Distributing Access Database

[SriG]

Hi,
I have just finished an application which i want to test.
I have the database as .mdb file now.

How do i distribute the application? Is it necessary that
the target system should have MS-Access?? Can i create an
executable? Can i create a setup like we use in VB Package
and deployment wizard??

Whats the best way to distribute?

Please let me know.

Thank You

SriG

1. If the target PC has Access software, you can simply copy the mdb file
onto the PC unless you use some ActiveX Controls that are not normally
included with Access.

2. The target PC needs to have Access software installed since you cannot
use an Access mdb file without Access software. It can be either the full
Access or the run-time version of Access.

3. If you have the Microsoft Office Developer version (MOD), you are
licensed to distribute the Access run-time files with your mdb / mde file(s)
royalty-free. The MOD also has the Package & Deployment (P & D) Wizard to
help you to create an installation package to install the run-time files and
your mdb / mde file(s) onto the target PCs.
