I would like some help in converting an access standard module into a VB executable. Can this be done? Thanks
 
You might be able to covert an Access mdb file to an mde file. However, your code must be perfect from what I know.

Supposedly, these is a developers version of VB or Access that will convert to true VB, from which you can make an exe file. There are many differences between VB and VBA, so things cannot just be ported over. You must have forms set up in VB that are different from Access forms, and the population of combo boxes use .AddItem, etc. in VB vs. just thr RowSource property in Access.
 
The answer is; of course it can be done. It just depends on the time you want to spend on it. Nothing magic just re-porting as sanders720 has mentioned already.
