How do I send an Access database to someone else to enter data?

[Guest]

I have built an Access database that has one table and one data entry form.
How can I send this database to another person so that he/she can utilize it
to input data, etc?

Just email it or copy it to a CD and send it to them.

Put your Data base in a drive where she or he can access just to fill field
that you want.

Send them the .mdb file, by using WinZIP or Windows Explorer to put it
into a zipped (compressed) file and sending it as an email attachment
or on a CD.

The user will need to have Access installed in order to do what you
describe. If they don't, and if you'll be doing this for multiple
users, consider purchasing the developer's edition software for your
version of Access - it lets you create a royalty-free "runtime"
version of Access you can distribute along with the database.

Perhaps use a Data Access Page.
