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.

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

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.

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:

Office 365 and Access 2019 Runtime (released January 2019)

Microsoft Access 2016 Runtime (released December 4, 2015)

Microsoft Access 2013 SP1 Runtime (released April 22, 2014)

Original Microsoft Access 2013 Runtime no longer available for download

  • Microsoft Access 2010, Service Pack 2 released July 18, 2013 (KB Article KB2687444)
  • Original Microsoft Access 2010 Runtime (released May 10, 2010)

Free Microsoft Access 2007 Runtime (released April 28, 2009)

Older versions of Microsoft Access

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

  • For Access 2003, get the Office Developer Extensions for Office 2003
  • For earlier versions of Access, get the Office Developer Toolkit

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.
