WANT TO MAKE ACCESS COMPILE FILE LIKE (.EXE)

[Basim Alvi]

HI,

I have made a program in microsoft access 2003 professional but when i
distribute this to another person

this program is not running on another computer because it want different
dll which are exist in my computer

any tool is available like in visual studio from which we can make (.exe
file ) of microsoft access (.db) file and installation setup.

You can not make an exe with Access.

The best you can do is package your database with the Access Runtime.

To get a license to distribute the Access Runtime, you must buy the
"Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions"
http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/technologyinfo/devtools/accessextensions/default.aspx
which is part of the "Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System."
See http://www.msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/office/officetools.aspx and
http://msdn.microsoft.com/howtobuy/vsto/default.aspx.

Unless you are going to do this a lot, it is usually less expensive to just
buy a copy of Access.

BTW, as a favor to everyone here, please use your shift key in the subject
line. All caps is considered shouting and very rude. Also, frequently
ignored.

Good luck.
