Microsoft offers runtime versions of Microsoft Access so you can create database applications in MS Access and distribute them to non-Access owners. The runtime version allows your users to use your databases without purchasing their own license of Access/Office.

2. Microsoft Access Free Download For Windows 10
3. Microsoft Access 2013 For Mac Free Download Free

The Microsoft Access Runtime version differs from the retail version in several ways:

• All design-related user interfaces are either removed or disabled
  • Database and macro windows are hidden
  • Filter By Form, Filter By Selection, and Advanced Filter windows are hidden
  • This means your users only use the forms and reports you create and do not work directly with the tables, queries, etc.
• Users cannot create their own Microsoft Access databases or modify the object designs in the database(s) you give them
  • There is no Design View. Your users cannot modify your objects including queries and reports.
  • The VBA editor is not included. Your users cannot view or modify module code.
  • They can view, add, edit, and delete the data in your database
• Special Keys such as Ctrl+Break, Ctrl+G, Shift key when opening the database, and other keys to modify objects or code are not available
• Microsoft Office features such as spell checking are not included. Note that spell checking is available if the user has that version of Office installed.
• Crashes in your VBA code are not handled. Make sure you implement error handling throughout your application.
• No Access help file

With Access, you’re free to store data wherever you prefer to be it a hard drive or cloud so that you can easily share your data with your colleagues. Combining Microsoft Access and Azure allows you to store data in SQL Servers and Azure SQL using your database.

As such, it is not possible to download Access for Mac since the Microsoft Office suite only offers this software version for Windows and in certain subscription plans.

Make Sure You Have Error Handling for Runtime Distributions

Because users of the runtime version do not have the design surfaces, it's important that any MS Access application you distribute with the runtime has a robust global error handler in place for all procedures. Otherwise, unexpected errors will cause your application without recourse. The Debug dialog is not available with a runtime deployment.

For more details on error handling read our papers on:

In earlier versions of Microsoft Access, you needed to purchase a special developer version of Access to receive the runtime version and other related resources. Since MS Access 2007, Microsoft has distributed the runtime versions for free. You can download them from here:

The runtime versions of Access 2003 and earlier were not free.

• For Access 2003, get the Office Developer Extensions for Office 2003

Given the deprecation of many features in Microsoft Access 2013, we recommend distributing the Microsoft Access 2010 runtime rather than 2013 in most cases.

As the developer, you have the full version of Microsoft Access to create your database application. Rather than have a different machine to test how your application behaves with the runtime version, Microsoft offers a way to run MS Access in runtime mode. Read our paper for more details:

Launching Microsoft Access with your database is similar to the way you would do so with the regular version of Access. Simply launch the msaccess.exe followed by the name of your database. Your database should launch with an Autoexec macro or have a startup form defined. Without it, nothing will appear as the runtime version does not expose the database container to users.

Here's a history of all the Microsoft Access major version releases, service packs, and recent updates with a summary of enhancements, deprecated features and other changes.

Our custom software development team has extensive experience creating Microsoft Access solutions that are deployed to users around the world using the Access runtime version.

RemoteApp and Terminal Services to Eliminate User Installations

We also have experience using Terminal Services and RemoteApp to support users over the Internet to run Access applications without having to install Access on their local machines. By hosting the Access application in a secure data center, Mac users and other non-traditional Access users can run your Microsoft Access application from their device.
