You apparently misunderstood...remember I said you CAN NOT make VBA apps
stand alone! You must have the VB environment software for that!

You CAN however, write an app...say in Word...that can use Access as a
backend DB and the users won't need Access on their systems cos' you can use
the JET runtime DLLs so the DB will run without having to have Access on the
system. I believe that's what someone else mentioned previously. But that
did not mean that you can create a stand alone!

But just because you can run a DB without having to have Access on a
system...you STILL need a HOST program to run the VBA code. That can be
Word, Excel, Access, PPT or any Office app...or app that runs VBA. 

However, the ONLY way you can create/send out a fully separate EXE program
is to have VB. VB will allow you to "compile" the code into a self-running
EXE program. VBA MUST have a host program that will "compile" the code at
runtime...since VBA cannot be compiled prior to the first time it runs!

But I don't have that Carousel...so I can't tell you anything about that
possible issue. Although I doubt it????
<End>

I don't -think- there was a conflict between Windows XP, Office XP, and the
CD Carousels (3), but after I installed Office XP Developer, I reloaded the
Carousel software and everything seemed 'normal' again. I am guessing that
one of the three wanted/expected a file what was older than the newest one.

Ok, now that I have Developer installed, if I write a two column database,
can someone teach me how to make it 'stand-alone'? This was my reason for
this investment.

Thank you.

Robert
