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//...
It still needs access to be installed on the target computer (even if in runtime form), /but/, if that does not require any licensing then that is more than I knew or expected, and stand corrected on that point.
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.
Lazarus and Delphi is what you need for Pascal development - it works a treat, plus I have very good Pascal SQLite wrapper objects you can have. (SQLiteExpert and SQLitespeed are both developed in it). This thread is becoming a bit long-winded though, so any next discussion in this regard we should take offline.
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!!
Haha, well it's a primitive description, but the implementation is quite modern and works very well on Win10. (ODBC is alive and well!).
