Multiuser Application

How do I make an MS Access application work on other computers that do not have Access installed?

Thanks

It is not possible. An Access database needs the Access software (either
the full version or the run-time version) to run.

You would have to acquire the Developer's software for whichever version of
Access you are using. This provides tools and license to create and
distribute the Runtime version of Access which allows a user without a
registered copy of Access to run, but not create or design Access apps.

This is not inexpensive nor without its "issues". An Access app run with
the Runtime has to be much more of a finished application than a file run
under the licensed version. The normal Access interface is not available
to the user in the Runtime. That means no db window and none of the built
in toolbars and menubars. All of these have to be provided by the
developer of the app. In addition there are a handful of features which
simply don't work in the Runtime. There is a Microsoft article that
explains all of the Runtime differences.
