Standalone Database (Quick Question)
Feb 6, 2006Hi,
Is there anyway to make the front end of my database standalone? For example, I would like to people to run it who don't have Access installed, what ways are there around this?

Standalone Database
Oct 24, 2005Can Access be used as a stand alone database? In other words, can I build a complete application and have it installed on another computer wheather that person has access installed or not?
I have seen some database programs that sure look like Access but they install and run as a program in itself. Hopefully I am making sense.
I want to develop a program for the school system but want to be able to do it as a complete application in itself, not dependent on if the user has Access or not. Thank you.
General :: Dial Button Not Working In Standalone Database
May 23, 2014I have an Access 2007 database which has a form on which is a button to dial the currently selected phone number. All works fine. My intention is to send out partial databases to people not having access installed and they will use the access runtime module.
When the same database is run using the runtime it does not dial and does not give an error message. It just stays the same as though I didn't press the dial button.
Database Check?... Can Someone Take A Quick Look Please?
Jun 12, 2006Hey guys,
I'm having two small issues with my database. The first is, I can't get my drop-down to display content on the Form "frmSearch" under "Cast".
And the second, not really a problem, more of an inquiry... on the same form, is there a way to set a default value in the "released before..." and "released after..." of "(enter year - xxxx)" and have that value not interfere with the search feature if it is left as default?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm very new to database creation and an eager to learn about these things. Thank you!
Quick-save Database To Read-only
May 12, 2005Does anybody know if there is a quick way of making a database read-only (so no data input OR design priviledges).
Ive had a request to send somebody a database so they can look at the data but not add/amend etc. The only thing I can think of is adding a security workgroup and assigning read only permissions. But this seems a bit long-winded and I wondered if I was missing something obvious like a 'save as - read only' option.
Any ideas.
Thanks,
Adam.
Converting To Standalone
Jun 17, 2007Hi All
I am currently compiling an Access DB to manage my work in progress, Payments due etc.
The DB is starting to work well and have requests from fellow contractors to purchase a copy (there are over 400 subcontractors in the group), with this in mind I have decided that when I complete the DB I will take it to a proffessional programmer and have it converted to a fully standalone programm.
My question: Is there a programm format that is preferable or would C# be the best option or is there a product out there that I could purchase and use.
Thanks in Advance

View 1 Replies View RelatedNeed Answers About Standalone Access File
Oct 18, 2007I just have a question, is there anyway to create a standalone ms access 2003 file. I want to be able to create a ms access db that has forms and certain reports.
I have a client who needs this ms access file to distributable to his clients (who can use it without having ms access file). Also he him self can make changes, to the forms, etc. Without any programming knowledge, change the look of the forms, add queries, etc. And be able to send the updated version of the ms access file to his cleint.
Can this be done? I have suggested using a vb frontend & and ms access as a backend, but he would have to pay someone to make changes, add reports, etc. And he wouldn't be able to do it him self becuase of lack of programming knowledge, he only has medium knowledgable of Ms Access.
So can this be done, is there a sdk i can use?
Thanks,

Error,2 Users Changing Data On Standalone PC?
Feb 20, 2008Attempting to change a queries calculated field properties I got the message
The Microsoft Jet Database engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time
Clever since I'm the only user on a stand alone PC.:confused:
I closed the database and tried again but with no joy.
Anybody know what the cause/solution is.

Feb 11, 2015I have a sharepoint database accdw which works well as I can update something and sync it to the server, and another user with the same database can receive the changes just by syncing.
However, I want to share a version of this database with a different start up form, some restricted forms etc. If I make a copy of the accdb it creates and make changes to that, it still synchronises those changes and they affect my own version.
What is the correct way to create a different database version from my accdw?
All I want to do is take the accdb it creates, change the startup form and give it to somebody to use.

Quick Question
May 4, 2006Bit of a newbie so help appreciated.
The system I have developed lists jobs (as in jobs that staff members need to go and do) in different towns and cities. These jobs are set as active or inactive depending if completed.
I need to run a report that allows the user to find active jobs in a particular town. I have made a query and by setting the status field to a criteria of "active" this ensures that all results in the query are only active ones.
I cannot find a way to allow the person running the search to enter the name of the town that they want. This would then allow the query and then report to list all "active" jobs in a particular town.
I have a table containing all the towns so hope I can offer the user running the search a means to either type the name of the town into a box or even better (to reduce typo's) be able to choose the town from a combo box.
Once the town has been selected, the report will list all active jobs in that particular town.
Thanks
Can anyone
Quick Questions
Jun 21, 2007I'm writing a field where it shows a combination of many fields.
For example, when a user types in "abc" in field 1, "def" in field 2, "ghi" in field 3, I will have to combine the three fields into "abc/def/ghi" with slashes in between them. However I don't want to have any slashes at the front or at the back the field.
There are unlimited fields of "abc" "def" "ghi" "jkl" "mno" etc. Any idea how I can write the code? I'm thinking using if statements. Is there other ways I can do this?
Thanks!!
Quick Question
Feb 12, 2008I know I should know the answer to this but if you are creating a query that includes individual fields as well as calculations based on some of those fields, do you select the source field or the query "field" when using the expression builder?
