Nope, not true. You can make standalone applications using Access that don't require Access to be installed on the target machine. Not sure how the licensing works, but it is definitely possible. It just requires the Access run-time which you can get from MS according to this website: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Deploy-an-Access-2007-application-7bb4f2ba-30ee-458c-a673-102dc34bf14f and https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=50040 .
Thanks for the pointers to Lazarus and MSVC. Have to look into them. The first programming language I learned in college and one I still have a soft spot for after all these years is Pascal. As for using SQLite with Access, once I got to that website and saw the references to Windows XP, I beat a hasty retreat! I am not that desperate, thank you very much!!
