Sir, I do not know if it is true of MS ACCESS, but some programs have what is called a "runtime" module that will allow a program to be run but not created of the user-receiver's system. For example, Microsoft has a free MS Power Point viewer that lets the user view the Power Point presentations but is not capable of making new presentations. There was a similar program for the old Emerald Bay database -- much like the DOS dBASE III. I have never really gone looking for and MS ACCESS runtime module. I too would very much like to have one. A database runtime module might or might not allow users to add data to an existing database. Gene Fleming

Does anyone know what is required? What are the issues? What are the obstacles to be aware of? Thanks! Ruel [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
