In my office only 3 out of 10 people have Access on their computers, but I
want all of them to be able to access the database i created, I've posted it
on the local server, but only the people with Access can currently use it.
How do i solve this issue?
Thanks
 
By purchasing licences for Access for each computer...

You can alternatively purchase a single licence for the Office
Developer's Edition, which includes a runtime version that you can
host on as many computers as desired.
 
Well, thanks for the response, but the reason I asked the questions was
because of the fact that my boss doesn't want to purchase more licenses.
But if this is the only way everyone can view the database, i’ll have to
convince him that it's necessary.

Did you take this on board?

"You can alternatively purchase a single licence for the Office

You buy the *one* developer license for as many run-time instances as you
like. It will also stop people fiddling with your design if you haven't
secured it.
