I am currently designing a new front end for my back end database using linked tables. However, I am trying to find a way to still allow users to add/delete/modify records without having MS Access installed on their computer.
Would that be a job for a professional programmer or does MS Access have some other method of doing this? Like a way to export a form as an application or something.
Please let me know if this makes sense at all, it's much to early. I was looking at some SQL statements earlier, and could hardly understand what they meant. Just a bit tired at this time of the morning, but that is why coffee is in high demand. Haha.

Oh, and a sidenote...
I understand how to make a table with a username/pass field (haha, easy enough)
I was told to make a Login msgbox that would allow them to login if their password matches.
Simple question, how?
Currently, nothing is a high priority, just trying to get ready for the future.

On the sidenote issue - search through the Access forum for threads already done on this.

To install an Access application without Access on the machine, you would need the Runtime Library. Usually you would have to have Office Developer. There are also packages available on the web if you have a look.

I found mostly ones relating to Office Developer, along with other companies that will make a database front end application for me. Also, with the new version of office coming out, M$ has spent a great deal of cash to get their placement on the search engines... or just through sheer dominance in the area. Either/"OR"
Do you by chance know of any that offer a trial, or are entirely free? I want to give the executives here something to look at before asking them to pay for some more technology.
I am going to play around with the code you have given me on this subject and hopefully get it to work.

I always heard people saying IIS ASP front end, and MS-SQL back end. ASP is
for server side programming and dynamic content generation, how could it is
called front end? Because I thought it is executed in the server, which is
back end? I think I am confused with the term front end and back end here.
Please advise. Thanks!!

Afternoon all,
Apologies for cross-posting but as my query covers both Access and SQL
Server I thought I'd send it both!
I have inherited a project to migrate a fairly complex series of

I was asked to provide a proposal. I provided a proposal on my application
and the prospective client likes what I have but is wary of it having been
developed in Access.
I don't understand this concern since my front-end application will be linked
to a SQL SERVER backend.
But there seems to be this "conventional wisdom" among IT people that Access
is a toy database. Okay, let's redefine that as "Jet" is a toy database

I have deployed few Access apps splitting it in Front End and Back
End. Our environment uses Win XP SP2 for clients, Win 2k3 for servers
and Access 2003. The max. number of clients is about 50 (concurrent
users is estimated around 10).
Whilst the Back End always lives on a server, I am not quite clear
where the Front End should live.
I have searched the web and find contradicting views.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
