I could really use some help here from people wiser in MS Access then I. You see my old work machine which contained MS Access 2007 met a tragic end recently and the new computer they gave me has MS Access 2013 on it and this is where my problem begins.
On my old computer I could save an MS Access form and table into a sort of stand alone, installable program that I could share with other users. And when they ran the install it would put the program on their desktop with it's own icon and everything. When you clicked the icon it would launch the form I created, not all of Access (although I suspect that behind the scenes it was using Access Runtime surreptitiously) so that to the untrained eye it would appear to be just like any other application.
Now because my old machine died suddenly I can't look back at it to reference how I did this and I have scoured the internet for 2 days trying to find the answer but everywhere I look are people asking how to do this and in every case they are being told that it can't be done. They would say Access can't create a stand-alone Access application. But it can...or at least it could. I know because I did it but I didn't do it enough for it to be second nature to me and Access 2013 is completely different looking then the 2007 version so maybe it's just changed appearances or is in a new place? I dunno.
So I come here asking you fine folk to help me understand how create a setup install file of a stand-alone Access program in Access 2013 like was possible in Access 2007?
