Access Distribution - show form only

If you are using Access 2007 or 2010, you can use the free Access Runtime that you can include in your application package. See the download link below:

To distribute an Access program to people that don't have Access, you need the "Access Runtime". It is essentially a kit that packages your application into a single file. On the end-user's computer it installs all the bits it needs to run access, without giving the user a chance to interact with Access outside of the scope of your application.

Personally, I think an app with a single form is an overkill to create an Access runtime app. It probably be easier to develop a web form and collect your data that way.

If you don't have the developer extension installed go to this link:

You need this information as your guide.
