    Microsoft Access Viewer

    Hey all,



    I am being asked by my supervisor if there is an Microsoft Access Viewer, similar to the Excel of Word viewers out there?


    If so, where do I find it?

    If not what would you recommend?

    it depends on what you mean by viewer... if you have a database application but you don't have microsoft access installed you can install the runtime components. Just google 'install MS access runtime components' you should find a legitimate microsoft download site. This will allow you to open/run the database, but you won't be able to do anything about the design.

    If you are trying to view tables/forms/reports in a .mde file (for example) where that is a different matter you would not likely be able to see them without a full version of access.

    Thank you for your response.
    Suspected as much. I knew that in order to make changes or updates one would have to have the full application (MS Access), but was not sure about the no change viewer.

    Thank you.
