Ways to convert a .mdb to a .exe

**Iphone** · 06-Apr-2007, 03:31 AM

I have a database in Access .mdb and would like to convert it to a .exe

1 possible way would be to use Office Developer but it seems like Microsoft has discontinued the product? I can't find it anywhere and even if i do, i'm not gonna fork out that sum of money just for converting the database.

Does anyone else have any other ideas to convert the .mdb to an .exe?

This can not be done. To have an .exe you must write your application in a compileable language.
The MS Office Developer did not supply the means to create a exe from an mdb, only to be able to build a deployable that would set up the app according to specs.
