If you use Visual Basic as the Front End and Access as the Back End do
you still need to install Access on the machine that the final program
will be run on? If so is it a "Runtime" version or a full version and
is i version specific?
Thanks

If you wish to allow the client machine make specifical update and
modification inside you DB in Access structure, YES you need to install
Access, but if not, it's not acquired any access version in your client
machine running Access Back end DB

No. Access is only the frontend to your .mdb. The RDBMS behind is Jet.
Jet is part of Windows XP. You can download it from MS as Jet SP8.

In addition to what Stefan's said, if youy wanted to be able to use the
reports in the MDB, then you would require at least the runtime be
installed.

Not really... Look at the ADOX library.

When I posted my response, yours hadn't yet appeared on the server, despite
the fact that you apparently posted it two minutes before Stefan posted
this:

Had your post been there, I would probably have cited it as well.
