[mso] Re: MSACCESS :VSMail mx3

Peter,

You do have a few options.  If you have VB, I believe you can use that to
access an mdb file (although I don't know for sure if you need Access for it
to work correctly.)  Another option is to get the Developers Edition of
Office.  This will allow you to create unlimited runtime versions of your
database.  You will need to make sure to set up forms for everything and
include error handling as they will not have access to the Access window,
only your forms (and through them, your tables, queries and reports).

Hi James
Thank you for your quick reply
My problem is I have a database  with about 240,000 records,  I want to
enable 
searching with querys on a CD, but not fully access msaccess and unable to
change the 
data 
I know that can be done because I have seen examples

Cheers
Pete
