OPAL 8.0
The new version OPAL 8.0 is now available
as Public Beta Release
which
runs with the latest Microsoft Office Access 2016 technology (Microsoft Office Access 16.0
Runtime). This version has
some known issues regarding the graphical user interface, which are caused by
Microsoft Access 2016. However, these issues had been largely reduced by the new
version of OPAL 8.0 released at the beginning of 2021 (for some details please see the file
Readme.pdf which is included
in the OPAL 8.0 installation program below). Please contact us for any
questions and feedbacks. Thank you!
Note:
To download and use the commercially long-term-proven version OPAL 7.4 (which
runs with Microsoft Access 8.0 Runtime), please use the link

1. Download the file
with a click on the link
Download the OPAL 8.0 Installation Program now. In the 'File Download' dialog box click the
button [Save] or [Save under]. Save the file in any folder on your computer
(e.g. C:\OPAL\Setup-Programs\OPAL80571_AccessRuntime2016_Setup_E.exe).
This executable file contains the compressed files of the OPAL Setup
Program.
2.
Some Anti-Virus-Programs (e.g. Norton 360) block the download of new or
unknown executable files (*.exe) without doing any technical security
examination of the file. Such Anti-Virus-Programs delete the file automatically after the download
simply because the anti virus program does not know the file. In this case the
Anti-Virus-Program must be deactivated temporarily for the download. We
recommend to use Microsoft Security Essentials or Windows Defender.
3. Start the
OPAL Setup Program
with a double-click on the downloaded file. The compressed files of the OPAL Setup Program will be extracted and the OPAL Setup Program will be
started.
If Windows SmartScreen prevents running the downloaded file, because
Windows SmartScreen doesn't know the application and the publisher, depending on
your version of Windows (e.g. in Windows 10) you need to click on "More Info"
and then on "Run anyway".
4. For Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8,
