standalone MS-Access application

Hi,
I have a fully functional MS-Access database.
May I build such an "exe" file from a MS-Access
"mdb" file which one who has not MS-Access
installed on his/her system can take advantage of the
database? is it possible to have an standalone
MS-Access application with no need to use the MS-Access
environment itself ?

I hope it's not just me but I think there should be a quick one-liner in the
FAQ about this question which is getting to be as old as the hills now.
Then if someone new can be pointed gently in the FAQ's direction, they've
got a direct link to the appropriate page on say the Access Web.

No, you cannot build an "exe" file from an "mdb" file. To do what you are
suggesting, you must purchase the MS Office Developer Suite that has the
"RunTime" Packager software to produce standalone, royalty-free MS Access
databases. This runtime database can be used on computers without the full
version of MS Access installed.

You mean like the one at http://www.mvps.org/access/general/gen0001.htm
which has been there for a long, long time?

I strongly recommend visiting and spending some time looking around The
Access Web, http://www.mvps.org/access, including the netiquette page
http://www.mvps.org/access/netiquette.htm which offers good suggestions for
effective use of newsgroups.

Hi people I'm getting a little annoyed with the way the print function always adds a space character between print statements unless there has been a new line. The manual mentions that "In some cases it may be functional to write an empty string to standard output for this reason." Am I the only the who thinks that this sucks? It's the first thing I've come across in Python that I really think is a design flaw. Is there a good way to...

I'm trying to learn about Python and XML. I would like to be able to add standalone="no" to my xml declaration when writing an xml file, but I am unable to figure out how. So far, I have the following code: import xml.dom.minidom doc2 = xml.dom.minidom.Document() print doc2.toxml('iso-8859-1') Which produces the following XML declaration: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

It is possibly more suitable to address this question to W3C mailing list, but I'm trying here first. Could anyone comment on <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-rmd> The first statement says: "If there are external markup declarations but there is no standalone document declaration, the value "no" is assumed."

Hey, Can someone please clarify, confirm, or set me straight on my understanding of a standalone="yes" attribute in the xml version element? I assume it means that the xml document containing it is standalone, and does not refer to any external document to define types. In other words, it doesn't use an external dtd to validate any types - everything used would be defined within the doc itself. In other words, you would never see an xml...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
