Preparing your Access Database Application for Deployment — Tools and Tips, with John Colby

Please join us for our Monthly Chapter Presentation , at 6:30PM Pacific (UTC -8)
John Colby, an old friend of the Access Pacific chapter, will drop in to discuss an Access add-in he created some time ago to help set up an Access database for deployment.
C2DBProperties is a simple developer tool designed to provide quick easy access to the built in database properties for any Access database. It contains a file form that allows you to quickly find and save a reference to your project databases. Once the file has been found, double-clicking on the database name in the files form opens a property form displaying the following properties for that database:

  • StartupShowDBWindow
  • StartupShowStatusBar
  • AllowBuiltinToolbars
  • AllowFullMenus
  • AllowBreakIntoCode
  • AllowSpecialKeys
  • AllowBypassKey

From the tool, you can then set the properties as required for deployment to your users.

What else do you do to prepare an Access database for deployment?

After John’s presentation, if we have time remaining, I would love to hear from you how you prepare for deployment.

I’m thinking of factors such as the environment (network, stand-alone), security requirements, and skill level of your users  and how they affect the way you approach deployment.

We’re counting on your ideas to make the discussion complete.

Thank you.
