Form as a program.

[O. Herheim]

Hello.
I have made an Access database and about seven persons
should use different forms for different registrations. I
want the forms to be programs "on their own", so the
operators don't need Access on their machines. What is
the best way, Visual Basic or Office Developer Edition?

If this is possible in VB i would prefer that. I am using
Access 2000.

Hi,
Either way would accomplish what you want.
If you use VB though, you would have to re-write
the application as you can't simply 'transfer' what you've
done in Access to VB. How much work that would be depends
on the complexity of your app.

Don't quote me on this as I am new to Access programming, but I
believe that with Access 2002, you can use data access pages to do
this through the browser your users most likely already have. I say
most likely because I believe they have to be using a new version of
IE. So you should be able to give each user a different URI and add
some security on your web server to keep each user from using the
others forms if you desire.
