I developed a tool using Excel VBA for the front end. The tool however queries a Microsoft Access database to get results. I need assistance in pushing this tool to users that do not already have Microsoft Access. Is there something that I can do, or have users download, rather than requiring the installation of Microsoft Access?

If you are using the [Data]...[Get External Data] choices form the menu then you would be accessing the database via an excel sub application called MS Query but using ODBC connectivity. This means the users do not need Access on their PC's unless they were actually required to open Access.

If you are using Excel as the front end as you state then you only need one Access database and hence one Access licence to use the application. You should be sure that the Database is located in a common area on the network and any referencing to the database should be by use of the full network path rather than the mapped drive, i.e. you may have the database residing on G:\mydbase\Dbase.mdb but another person may have this mapped to H:\mydbase\Dbase.mdb, if this is the case you should use \\myServerName\myRoot\myDbase\Dbase.mdb

Hope this helps.
