Convert Access to ???? Phil 12/30/2008 3:57:01 PM Hi, I have several Access programs. Is it possible to convert these programs to some other platform so that the user would not need Access, Run-time or any other software? Thanks, -- Phil

You want to have the computer display data from a database, allow editing, etc. etc. without running ANY SOFTWARE? No. It's not. Perhaps you need to clarify the question. -- John W. Vinson [MVP]

Even there, though, most of them use *some* kind of run-time library...it's just not an application like Access. If you want to avoid even run-time libraries, I believe C and Delphi will get you there, and probably a few others, but I couldn't tell you specifics, as I don't do much programming in either of those languages. There probably aren't any conversion programs available, so you'd be starting from scratch, I would imagine. Rob
