As Executable As Possible
Apr 5, 2006
I am trying to make my database as secure as possible so I can sell the application I have written. Certian things are stored in a table to make the application unique to the buyer to hopefully stop free distribution.
So I need to make sure that the user cannot acces the tables and make changes to them other than via the front end.
I have a password protected backend but the users can still edit the contents of the table via the front end.
Not sure if this is the easiest way but I am considering the following:
I want to open the main form when the database is opened, and then close the whole access application when the main form is closed.
Also, is there a way to change the text in the Top Bar that says Microsoft Access to something else plus change the Tab Name on the Windows Program selection bar at the bottom of the screen.
Would using the Access Developer Extensions be the best answer to my problem??

Has anyone used these?

1.What is Access Runtime?
2.Is there any way (or is it possible) that can change mdb/ mde to executable file (.exe), and can be ran in Access Runtime? :confused:
Thanks

I've made a few databases in the past for an engineering test facility with some (limited) success. Recently we purchased a time sheet program that works as a stand alone program, but uses Microsoft Access to operate. Everything is table driven and there are filters and all the good stuff from Access, but it's a seperate program - I don't have to open Access to run this program. This would be great if I could make database programs that could run on their own, so to speak. Any chance one of you could point me in the right direction on how to learn to do that kind of thing? Do you need stand-alone Visual Basic or can I make the program within the limitations of Access? I have both so it doesn't really matter, but outisde of VBA within Office products, I'm a programming noob. Thanks in advance.

hi everyone i'm super new at access. i think it's neat for now.
i just made a form that people can use to insert information. we have a network drive here and it would be super cool to be able to convert the form into an Executeable file that way people can just click on the exe Icon and open up the form without having to go into access and then open the form.
please let me know

I was asked to create an Access db with search functionality in a form and have done so, now I have come across a problem………..
The team I have created this for do not have Access installed on their pc’s and this is and archive search db that I have created so will only be using it very rarely!! As a result I wondered if there is a free viewer or anything I can do to get them to use this db that I have created without having to purchase 12 licenses for an application that will rarely be used!
Any suggestions ?

If you make your database into a executable file to package it, does the other person you are sending it to have to have or own Access to use it. I was under the impression that I could create a database, package it as its own program and give it to someone that does not have access and it would still work? If not, how would I do such a thing.

How can I turn my DB into an Executable file, or "stand alone"...Id like to have the end users when opening the DB see only the forms and reports without the Access Background.
