Running the FE of a DATABASE without Access running

[Jimruns919]

I was wondering how to accomplish that when I finish making my DB and split it, is there a way for users to run it without Access opening with all the menus and ability to see or edit the forms and queries and such?



Basically, have it open the forms as if they are their own application? All my users have MS Access 2019 or 2022 on their desktops and I want to create a system of work orders and other ways my users are doing things but to use Access for better efficiency.

Use the runtime?

Create a .accde? Hide all the objects? Hide the access window?

There are plenty of options. Create a security profile - what you want to protect, from who, from doing what, by what methods. There are a lot of examples on this and other forums as to how each can be accomplished although no system is 100% secure.

But to do what you want, easy to hide the access window, but all forms and reports need to be popups. On my phone so can’t provide links but Google ‘access vba to hide access window’ or similar
