You can set up an ODBC link to get to the data (only) from another
application, such as Excel. If you are the developer, and you are asking so
that you can distribute your application to another user who does not have
Access, the answer is Yes, but only if you have the Developer Extensions that
allow you to distribute a royalty free copy of the Access run-time. (Access
is still installed in this case, but it is a run-time version only).
You're right....there is no Access viewer utility, if that's what you were
wondering. In this case, you need a copy of Access if you want to be able to
do anything other than just get to the data (which you can do from Excel,
Word, etc. using an ODBC link).
