Runing MS Access database without having Instaled MS Access

[Sandra Daigle]

If you split the database, the backend (Data) will still be in an mdb. I
don't think xls files would be practical except as a temporary means for
passing data between applications (if this applies). You can not create a
..exe executable with Access but you can purchase a version of Access that
will allow you to install the Access runtime:

For Access 2003 you can purchase Microsoft Visual Studio Tools. This product
contains the Developer Extensions which include a royalty-free Access
Runtime enabling distribution of Access solutions.

For Access 2002 and earlier you need the Microsoft Office Developer product
for the appropriate version. Here's a link for OfficeXP:

Hi
I am just curious to know if is possible to make executable database.
Because if I make a database which will be used on multiple machines I need
to set up MS Access on every machine, if the configuration of MS Access is
not the same on these machines.
I imagined if i split database and have tables saved as xls. Forms should'nt
be a problem to save somehow as exe files, because they dont growth.
-is it posible somehow to accomplish this or not?
