Dear

How can I change an Access MDB file to an executable EXE file?


SOS

Thanks

You can't change an MDB file to an EXE file, because the MDB file is not a program it's only an application what's runs under Access. If you like only that people can automatically install it, you can make with winzip an EXE file out of it. If you then include MS Access the whole application will run.

An .mdb file is a database file not an application.
You can NOT include the Access application with the .mdb file you made because the file would be huge not to mension illegal, that is called piracy.

What is the ultimate goal you are trying to accomplish?

An mdb must be run with access. There is another way to do it if you are distrubuting to people who do not have access... you supply them with access runtime software. If you buy Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003 for newer versions of access, or Microsoft office developer for older versions, you can supply them with the runtime environment. When you take this route you will not be doing anything illegal.. if you supply them with the actual program then it is considered piracy. Microsoft made it hard, but it can be done.

I Am Trying To Find Out If There Is A Way To Make A Page Like Internet Explorer And Under This A Database (mdb) To Work.
I Have Seen Lots Of Programs That Work With These Kind Of Databases And I Am Trying To Find Out How These Progs Work

Access has a feature called Data Access Pages that can connect to a MDB database. I suggest researching DAPs at support.microsoft.com. There are also other ways like ASP. I would suggest discussing this with your WEB host service.

Even though I have not looked for this because it is little late I think that a small idea could fill up the puzzle.hope this is a good tip.you will have a respond for this after looking for it.
Good night

Umm, can you explain what you just said? I'm not clear at all what that means.

I think he wants you to look it up for him?

That's certainly one possible interpretation. ;)

No.I did not mean if someone could look it for me.
I just said that I did not have the time yesterday so I could not reply if what you told me helped me or not.
And all about (a small idea could fill up the puzzle) I told it because I prefer finding all I want myself with a little help and not making someone fix up what I want.

Ahh, so you were just saying you would try the solution as soon as you could and report back after you did?

That's right
