Microsoft Access Runtime Downloads
What is Access Runtime?
Microsoft Access Runtime is a free version of Access that allows you to run Access applications including entering, deleting and modifying records. Essentially, it is designed for users to be able to use an application created by a developer with a full licence. It does not have any of the development and design tools of a full version of Access so you cannot make any changes to the design of an application and you can't use the built-in menus or create your own queries, or anything like that.
From 2010 onwards Runtime comes in 2 versions: 64 bit and 32 bit. A 32 bit version will work on a 64 bit computer but the 64 bit version will not work on a 32 bit computer.
All the Access applications available for download on our website work in 32 bit versions of MS Access.
