I want to make a db of contacts that I can put on a flash
drive I just bought (one of those USB gum pack sized
things). I was looking around on the internet and nothing
seems to fit what I want, so I have decided to make one in
Access XP. On to the question: Can I make it so that I
do not have to use a computer w/Access installed? ONce I
set it up, All I will do is data entry so I dont need to
fidget with the forms, etc. I want to be able to use this
database at pretty much any computer I can - what would I
have to do? I ahve 256MB on the drive, so I have room to
install additional files, if needed.
THanks in advance for any help

With the developers version of MS Office you can create a
runtime version of an Access database that does not
require users to have MS Access installed to use your
application.

My mistake. I sent the first one, then just plain forget
that I sent it. I'm sure worse things have happened.
