Using One Database In An Office.

[SamDemon]

Hi everyone,
never done this before so havent got a clue what the best way to do it is. The problem is that in our office i have written a database which everyone needs to use. Problem is that not everybody has access on their machines. What do we need to buy / run on these machines so that all users can access the database and edit it.
Thanks
SAM

It's just common sense, shame sense isn't common!

You can create what is called a "Runtime" version of a database, which basically creates an install package to put onto a PC without Access, that allows you to run most of the features of Access.

In Office 97 you could buy a CD called "Office 97 Developers Kit" which allows you to create Setup packages for running databases on Access(less) PC`s. Not sure about Access 2000, but i`m sure there will be something similar.

Hope this helps.
