MS Access Forum / New Users / June 2006How to open Access File with key on it?
Is there some way of opening an Access File with key on it without having to install the Access orogramme? You can set up an ODBC link to get to the data (only) from another application, such as Excel. If you are the developer, and you are asking so that you can distribute your application to another user who does not have Access, the answer is Yes, but only if you have the Developer Extensions that allow you to distribute a royalty free copy of the Access run-time. (Access is still installed in this case, but it is a run-time version only).

You're right....there is no Access viewer utility, if that's what you were wondering. In this case, you need a copy of Access if you want to be able to do anything other than just get to the data (which you can do from Excel, Word, etc. using an ODBC link).
