open db without access tracktraining 11/13/2008 11:01:01 PM Hi All, Is there a way for any user to open a db without MS Access installed? I want to distribute my db (.MDE) to other users but they don't have MS Access installed on their PC. Any suggestions? Thanks, Tracktraining -- Learning

If you are using Access 2007, you can download a Runtime version from Microsoft at no charge. Earlier versions of Access have runtime versions, but they cost.
