Database not working in access runtime

[deepucec9]

Hi,
Created a access database using Access 2007-2010.
I tried to open it in another computer using access runtime 2010, access program opens but not showing any forms.
How can I open database in another computer using access runtime?


TIA

Runtime does not provide access to the object navigation window or ribbon plus many other features such as right click functions are not available. you need to make one of your forms open automatically when the db is opened (usually the main navigation form or a login form) - either create an autoexec macro to open the form you want or go to File>options>current database>display form and select it there.

User will probably receive a message and have to accept the use of macros before the form will open

I always tell Access to hide the Navigation Pane. So I cannot remember if the Runtime Only version does this automatically. Did you use VBA or the Options to hide the Navigation Pane?

I know Ajax mentioned the RT hides it, regardless of the settings. But I was just curious and lazy at the same time. Anyway, if your intention is to have multiple users interact with your app, it is a good idea to design it so it will work exclusively in run time. This would include having a main form that always stays open and gives the user access to the primary forms and also be able to run reports.

Thank you all, its working fine now. Access opens th navigation form automatically on start up.
