Sorry...but just remember that *I* never said it would work as a stand
alone!! Someone else mentioned that you could use an Access DB without
having to have Access...so that might have been confusing to you. But the
fact does and will always remain that VBA *means* visual basic for
applications...meaning it NEEDS an application to run. I did state that fact
clearly. Sorry for any confusion!
And yes, Visual Studio has VB and C++ in it. So if you have VS, you have the
stand alone version of VB and you can create a stand alone front end with VB
and use an Access DB with JET for the back end and compile it all into a
stand alone EXE for distribution...along with the associated DLLs you'll
need to install the program.
But realize...since I believe you've never done this type of thing...you
have quite a learning curve ahead of you to get a VB EXE with ADO working
properly to install for a user as a software program!! Been there...done
that!<smile>
Good luck!

You apparently misunderstood...remember I said you CAN NOT make VBA apps
stand alone! You must have the VB environment software for that!
<End>
I sure did. What about Visual Studio then? I have Visual Studio 6.0, which
seems to contain Visual Basic, C++, FoxPro, and InterDev.
Can I take the red off my face now?
Thanks.
