How can I have multiple people enter data into an Access databse, without
paying for a license for every person. We have limited licenses, but I need about 30 people to use a single form to enter data. I will be the only one maintaining it and running reports. |

You can download and install the runtime edition of access. This is a free royalty method for distribution. The runtime system allows you to run applications that you build in Access. The users will not be able to make design changes, but in this case, that usually what you want anyway. The runtime system is free for access 2007, and for Access 2010. Prior to that it was rather quite expensive and I don't believe it's available for purchase from Microsoft anymore. You can find out about the runtime he http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-ca/office/bb229700.aspx The above also includes links to download the free runtime. If you install the runtime, then you can copy your application to those machines and it will run. You do have to ensure you take extra care of your users in providing things like a startup form in which they can use to move around and launch other forms. The runtime does not have a default ribbon provided, and you need to provide the "shell" of the application. I also have a article and explain the use of the runtime and how you can update your users he http://www.members.shaw.ca/AlbertKal...ime/Index.html Albert D.

Hi, dependig on your Version, you can download a runtime for Access. For 2007 use this one: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en Regards Jörn Bosse |
