program for access form

[Guest]

Is there a way to make an access form open without having to install Accesss
on all my employees computers. Would it be possible to use a Visual basic
program that could do this? Any other options would be great!!

No. Access forms exist only within Access.

You can (with about double the effort of creating a form in Access) create a
Form in Visual Basic to manipulate data stored in a JET (Access) database; or
you can purchase the appropriate Developer's Edition of Access and distribute
a royalty-free "runtime" edition of Access. See

http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/developereditionversions.htm

for a list of the everchanging names of the package which gives you the
runtime.

Not listed there is the Access2007 runtime - that is going to be available
soon, and will be free.
