Export Routine as EXE?

I have Access XP, not the "developer's kit,"and a routine written in a form
which I use for renaming files. I know that in general you can't export an
MDB file to a self-running executable, but I'm wondering if a simple form
such as this can be exported as such--or do I need the "Developer's Kit" for
that.

Even with the Developer Edition you can't do it.

What the Developer Edition does is provide you with a royalty-free run-time
version of Access that you can package with your application. People who
don't already have Access can install the run-time version, and they'll be
able to use your application. It doesn't change your application in any way,
shape or form.

If there was, we'd all export all of our simple forms instead of getting
the developer's edition :-)

Hi
If it really is simple you might do it in VB. This still needs a
run-time package though it is free.

Or even in VBscript if you don't have VB.
(Rrunning under the scripting host, you have full access to the file
system and can create objects to access text files, databases etc,
unless your administrator has disabled scripts which in a company
setting may well have been done).
