Hello, I was wondering if there is a way/option to make a Form (that
has a list of reports on) an executable file. Like just launch the Form
from your desktop instead of opening through Access

Any suggestions?

Thanks

You can get the Developer Edition (or Access Developer Extensions) for the
version of Access you are using; or if you are using Access 2003, the
runtime support is in a separate "package" called Visual Studio 2005 Tools
for Office.

Just to clarify Larry's suggestion. Access Developer Extensions simply gives
you the ability to package your application up along with a royalty-free
run-time version of Access so that users who don't already have Access
installed will be able to install the run-time and use your application.
(They'll be able to change the data in the tables, but not make any other
changes to the application). It does not change your application in any way,
shape or form though.
