Stand-alone Executable

Sep 16, 2005

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.

Stand-Alone Program

May 29, 2007

Hello. I have tried using the search function on the board but I cannot find an answer.

Is it possible to create an executable program to run the database?

I would like to have a computer that does not have Access installed, to be able to load and run the user interface that allows them to manipulate the database, as well as write to it. It doesn't matter if the tables are encrypted or not.

Thanks for your time.

EDIT: It appears that after writing this post, I realized I hadn't used the search term "executable." I found an answer here (http://www.access-programmers.co.uk/forums/showpost.php?p=586646&postcount=2).

MS Access Application As Stand Alone

Jan 18, 2008

Using the MDE-menu function in MS Access it returns an error. MS Access is not able to make a MDE-file of my database. I prefer to make a runtime of my database, but surfing the internet I can not find a way to do this. Can you give me directions for this?

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??http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/technologyinfo/devtools/accessextensions/default.aspxHas anyone used these?

General :: Securing And Maintaining A Stand-alone Unsecured Db?

Dec 3, 2012

I have an application that is used by individual teachers to generate reports for central admin. It is not secured except I have locked out access to all objects, Navigation pane is hidden, etc to protect the integrity of the tool. I must also maintain this as changes are propagated. I am trying to find a way to upgrade forms, functions, queries, etc without manually having to unlock and relock every db for each school site when changes are required. I have tried importing and exporting from a master db, turning objects on and off by recognizing my password, splitting code and data (db's are on flash drives and path changes every time they are inserted, many teachers cannot handle refreshing table links), I have tried writing code to import the changes at next startup, etc. It is written on Access 2003.

View Access Files/executable?

Jul 23, 2007

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 ?

General :: Making Database Executable For Others

Mar 15, 2015

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.
