An MDE is not the same as an EXE. MDE files still require that Access be installed on the workstation. There's no way to turn a DB into an executable. Assuming that you want to allow people who do not have Access installed to use your application, you have 3 main options: 1) Rewrite your application in a language that can be compiled into an executable such as VB or VC++ (note that your data will still have to be kept in an external MDB file) 2) Rewrite your application as a web app 3) Get the Access Developer edition that's appropriate for whatever version of Access you're using (see http://www.granite.ab.ca/access/developereditionversions.htm for details of what you need to look for) What this allows you to do is package your application together with a royalty-free run-time version of Access. Users who don't have Access installed will be able to install the run-time and use your application. They will not be able to use the runtime to make design changes to your application (nor to any other MDB) -- Doug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) "Marco" wrote in message news:6D4A12B3-1961-4E90-B952-8144D572D69B@microsoft.com... > Hello I guees the only way is to make an MDE file. > > > > > "Ashish Saxena" wrote: > >> I want to covert an Access project in EXE.

I'd start with VB 2005 Express, or VB 2008 Express. It might be a lot of work; you'd need to code most of it by hand-- but it would be worth it. -Aaron On Jun 25, 10:09 pm, Ashish Saxena wrote: > I want to covert an Access project in EXE. How
