Actually, there is a way, sort of.\n\nIn the Office Resource kit, there is a tool that will allow you to share an Access database (mdb) with other users, basically making your access db into an executable.\n\nCourse, you need the office Developer edition (or was it really in a resource kit?).  I'd suggest you do a search on microsoft.com's knowledge base.

The first answer is correct, you don't need to install a full version of windows to use an exe file. There are emulators out there for that purpose.

As with upgrading any database - you need to be concerned about the applications that are tied to it.  If you have and customized applications, then there will likely be some development costs to update the applications (database connectivity).  If you use MS Access to perform any administration - it's not possible to create a Access project (.adp file) connected to SQL Server 2005 just yet.  Other compatibility issues would need to be evaluated such as reports (like Crystal reports).  These may also require redevelopment to change over to the new server settings.  As far as data conversion - there are no issues that I've seen yet - but that is influenced by database architecture.  With sufficient planning and identifying all the various affected applications - you shouldn't really experience too much of a problem.

*.mde = Microsoft Database EXECUTABLE.  You still need Access on the system in order to run the file, but it means that the VBA code in the file has been compiled and will run faster.

It's easy. You can use Shell command.\nexample: Shell "C:&#92;MyDocuments&#92;Program.exe"

Hi,\nI am database programmer and use MS Access and SQl and others. Give a detailed example what you exactly want to do. Then I will tell you the design. I never designed a database wrong until now, hehe.\n\nA very important tip for you! If you want later export the database to SQL do NOT use the export wizzard of Access. This wizzard does not work and cost only time. Use the Import Wizzard in SQL. This wizzard works. \n\nNice greetings\nFranky

I assume that you want to open the cab files, and replace the some files inside the cab.\n\nCab file is a compress file, like .zip or .rar .\nTo open and replace the files inside the cab files, you need some software like CAB Explorer \nhttp://www.softpedia.com/get/File-managers/CAB-Explorer.shtml\nTools like winzip and winrar, can open cab files, but it can't make cab files.\n\nin windows xp you can found MakeCab.exe which can you use to build cab files (in console - command prompt environment).\nif you didn't want to use tools like Cab Explorer, you can unpack the cab files from explorer , replace the file, and pack it again with makecab.exe

If the file you downloaded is in the .ZIP format then winXP should handle it. However if you would like to get a free program that opens and creates ZIP files then you can get it from the link below. Good luck!

A text file with the .BAT extention. \n\nIt will then be executable, and run the commands listed in the file in order via DOS prompt.

The Platform SDK contains a debugger that lets you do that. EXE files are PE files, not a stream of machine instructions. They have machine instructions that can be relocated by chunks, among other things.\nThe debugger will help you with all the details.

For Some reason, it will not display the code correctly. Email me and I will send it to you, unless this is enough.\n\nOK, did this once before, then I abandoned it for PHP and MySQL.  Here was my code:\n\ndim objConn\nSet objConn = \nServer.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")\nobjConn.ConnectionString="Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _\n"DBQ=MyDatabase.mdb"\n\ndim objRS\nSet objRS = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Recordset")\nobjRS.Open "MyTable", objConn, , , adCmdTable\n\n// Replace "MyDatabase.mdb" and "MyTable" with the Access Database name and the Table name.\n\nthe line that has ADODB Conn... should say \n("ADODB.Connection")\n\nHope this helps.

There is no way to convert it.  They are completely different.\n\nThe difference?\n.exe are used to run the programs and are just gibberish consisting of squares and miscellaneous symbols.\n.txt are WordPad or Notepad files (and Microsoft Word if you want to save it that way.)

If you use VB.NET you can easily accomplish this with Managed Direct X.\n\nTry downloading the Direct X SDK:\n\nhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/directx/

Access 97 supports only limited SQL queries. Most of these can be generated with the query designer functionality in Access, but if you want to access the database using more advance SQL commands, try writing a VB program to do it and use an OLEDB jet connection. Then you get whatever functionatily you want on it.\nGood luck!

the problem is that the mdb is probably being copied to the instalation directory. Here is what you do. On installation the mdb should go to a directory in the same path as it was on your machine. ie if it was c:&#92;project wherever the program is being installed it should be c:&#92;project. There is usually and lst file that is created along with the setup. Open that and change the destination folder to c:&#92;project in the case above. just put the path as it was on your computer.
