Hi everyone,
Is it possible to transform an Access Form into an EXE file, so when I want to open the form don´t have to open the microsoft access?

Thanks

No, not possible

I believe you'd have to convert it to a database totally in another language - VB would be the closest/easiest convert, probably. And I'd imagine you'd have to do it at least partly manually or with a program you can probably fine online.

Then, after it's converted to VB or whatever, you could compile it as an executable.

I've not tried this, but I think I've seen programs online that were written for this purpose. But it also probably depends upon how complex your database is, as to whether this method would be successful without manual intervention on at least parts of it.

As long as some version of Access is installed on the host machine, you could create an mde from your project which behaves like an exe.

If you have Office Developer you could produce a runtime version.

If you just want to hide the application window there are a few threads on ways to do this, but still requires the user to have Acc on his machine

Here's a link to a company named Diamond Edge. They have an app that, "on the press of a button" converts all Access objects into a VB app! They have a free demo you can download and use for 30 days to try out. The demo only works with the Northwind demo db that ships with all versions of Access, but it should give you an idea of what it can do and how easy it is to use!

Good Luck!
