Access Database as an Executable?

[Martynt74]

I've been trying to google this and most answers seem to be quite old which makes me wonder if there's a better/different way.

I have an Access tool with some basic features, which i'd like to share with clients on a training course. One delegate however has informed me she doesn't have MS Access on her work laptop.

I seem to see multiple options with this being

- Download Access Runtime to just use the database
- Someone how save the file as an executable

What i ideally need is to allow the user to be able to enter/import data into it as the tool then can run various ways to analyse/format data into the correct format.

is this possible?

Unless you can package everything needed e.g. the Access Runtime and your mdb/mde using something like VMWare ThinApp or MS App-V as a portable application I don't think it can be done easily.

I would just go with downloading the access runtime and using the database
