Access Viewer

Hi All - Access 2002 XP - Win ME

Is there an Viewer for Access like the one for Word? I need to show a sample
of an Access app. on a machine that does not have Access loaded.

If so, I would truly appreciate a reference or a link where I can downloaded
it. I've been searching for one on the Internet for the past hour or so,
but, haven't turned up any information for one yet. Just thought I'd see if
one was available before I went any further. :-)

Best regards.

Jan,
Unfortunately, no, there isn't. Probably the best you could do is to create
a runtime version of the application, but that's only available if you have
the Developer's Edition of Access.

Well...as I don't have the Developer's Edition, I won't be able to create a
runtime version. And...guess that s'plains why I couldn't find anything on
it....??? :=)

Thank you very much for your time and help, I truly appreciate it.

Maybe copy some screenshots to Powerpoint?

Yeah, that would kind of splain it...LOL. TC's suggestion to put some screen
shots in Power Point might work well. I would prefer to put them in Word,
though, because it's a little more flexible AND you can print it out as a
training document later on.

I hope something like that will help you do what you need to do.

Yes, Word may offer a bit more flexibility, as you say. I may want to add
some other informationl. I'm also thinking that once setup in Word, I could
then take some of them into PowerPoint to insert perhaps arrows and/or
call-outs that would also be animated for specific emphasis as well.

I hope something like that will help you do what you need to do.

Thank you very much for your time and help, I truly appreciate it. I'll
give them a go and see where I get......besides in trouble. ;=))

HAIW,

Hi Jan,

Just a suggestion from left field.
Do you or your office still have a copy of Office 97 Professional Edition?
On that CD is a program called Microsoft Camcorder.
In essence it is a utility that "records" what you are doing on the screen.
You press start to record and then stop to finish.
You can then compress and covert the .avi output file to an .exe file.
The file could still be pretty big if you record for a very long time, but burning it onto a CD
should be no problem.
You could break up certain aspects of the project into smaller chunks.

I have a personal restaurant database I have been working on for a couple of years and for Version
1.0 ALL of my Help files were created with this utility. For example, to display posting an invoice
I simply recorded an example. All of the Help topics were launched from a "Help Form." It worked
very well, but became too much maintenance as the project became MUCH bigger.

Since these are .exe files, virtually any computer should be able to open the files whether or not
they have any Access/Office version. I'm not sure if this utility came bundled with later Office
versions. I know you can also purchase programs like these as well.

Just a thought.

Unfortunately, Camcorder doesn't work with recent versions of Windows. Some
problem with a missing video codec, whatever that means.
