Hello all,

Is there any way I can make my access program (2002) stand alone. I have an
enormous amount of inputted data and I wish to secure it in order to provide
to
various clients.

Suggestions?

Thanks, Kerri
 
You need to purchase the Developer's Edition of Access. That will allow you
to compile your Access application into an "executable" file.

Standalone?? There is no way to make an Access **program**
into an exe file. You can distribute your access program to
user's that do not have Access installed on their machine if
you have the developer's version with its license to
distribute the Access Runtime. However, this still involves
installing (a limited version) Access on the user's machine.

Securing your VBA code is a different matter that you can do
by compiling a **copy** of your program into an MDE. An MDE
file does not contain any of your VBA source code. Be sure
you understand this before trying it, because it is strictly
a one way operation.

Securing your data is a whole different issue that involves
learning how to use the Access Security features (something
I've never gotten into).
