MS Access Databses in JADE

I would like to put my Access database into my JADE application. I just have the database (not really much else). Is there a way in which I can put it in and it will work (with all of the forward and back buttons)?

Just to clarify, you mean as in OLE2, with Access actually running but being displayed "inside" a JADE window, like you can with Word and Excel ?

No. Without access running. So that the user doesn't have to have any other software (major)

Without having Access installed, or at least the Access DLL's available, you can't place an Access database _directly_ into any application.

However, (and someone correct me if I'm wrong here) you should still be able to use JADEs ODBC connections to talk directly to an Access database file , and simulate this sort of effect by running the ODBC wizard, and then the Form Wizard choosing table mode to create a basic Access-like interface

Jade Education has a demo of a similar process, though not using table view, that they might let you have.
