I have an MS Access database and application that I would like to distribute to family members. None of them has MS Office and this is a one-time compile. Is there a service that I could pay a fee to compile the database so that I could distribute the ACCDB and EXE files to them without having to purchase the compiler? Thanks.

If all you want is a database viewer, you can find many of those by searching on Google. EEOC

Thanks for your reply Will the database viewer handle the code in Visual Basic as well as calls to external programs from within my Access application? From what I can determine, the free viewers only permit viewing the tables. I have an application that uses VB, forms and reports. Isn't there a compiler that creates an EXE file that can run the application, forms, and reports without having MS Access installed on the host computer. Am I missing something?

I found the answer from PBaldy in the MS Access DBforum (http://www.dbforums.com/microsoft-access) : "The runtime version of Access and the developer extensions are both free downloads from MS." I downloaded both and compiled my application and moved it to a PC that didn't have MS Access installed and it worked flawlessly. Note that this software and procedure is only available with MS Access 2007 and not earlier versions of Access.
