Hi, as my question shows, I'm ignorant. Around 1998, when screens and memory were small, I built a database. Now it's got 5,000 records, 40 fields, 7,000 images, 5 forms and subforms, messy VBA. Giving a copy to friends has usually failed. It didn't like moving to Access 2003 and Windows 10.
Now, it can be simplified. One form, filling a desktop monitor. The whole thing on a flash drive. And maybe, maybe ... with everything designed so that, as long as it's working with (say) Access later than 2002, and Windows later than (say) Vista, and all the possibly needed References etc bundled, the worst that can happen in a friend's computer is a problem-free conversion.
Is it possible? I've searched your forums - have I missed an answer? Online, it looks, at best, horribly complicated and unreliable.
