Hello,
It's possibile to use MDB File on web sites without access license?

Example.

I don't have Microsoft Access, but I have a little freeware program to
create MDB, and I want to put it on the web site.

thx

It depends on what's installed on the web server. If it has Jet
support (e.g., Jet ODBC drivers), you can use it. If Jet support is
not installed, you have to install it.

Access. No you can't run it without a license unless you develop your app
using the Developers' Edition.

re: License

.... depends on what is meant by "use".

If the OP wants to use the MDB file as a datastore then you don't need a
licence.

If he OP wants to use the MDB file as a datastore then there are all sorts
of programs which can create and use it.

Another current thread in this NG includes a topic regarding the
distinction between Access and Jet. One can create and work with (I'll
avoid the term access) a mdb file using the Jet engine from any number
of tools. I've done so, using VB, frequently.

Keith is, perhaps, making a confusing point. Access can create an
Access database, but an Access database is just a Jet database with
some custom properties that only Access uses.

If you're just using your MDB as a data store on a website, Access
is simply completely irrelevant, as you're just using the Jet
database engine. And any machine that has Jet and/or the Jet ODBC
drivers installed on it can create and edit a Jet MDB.

The key point is that Jet runs only on Windows. I don't know that
it's possible to run Jet on, say, Wine under Linux.

As I would never use a web host that was running Windows servers, it
means that I can never use an MDB as a data store for a website.
This is not something that bothers me at all, as most LAMP hosting
services are cheaper than their Windows counterparts (as well as
more reliable!).

I couldn't help but laugh when I read this. I just spent two days
ordering a new system from the Dell web site. It's running IIS. I know
this because of the many error messages that I read during the repeated
crashes. IMO - Windows makes a very capable desktop platform, but it
sure doesn't belong on servers.
