Carl- Yes, you would normally distribute an MDE for Runtime execution, but you can also use an MDB.
Yes, you need the "Developer Toolkit" appropriate to the version. With 2003, these tools (and the license to distribute runtime installs) comes with Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Office. http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/vsto/default.aspx John Viescas, author "Building Microsoft Access Applications" "Microsoft Office Access 2003 Inside Out" "Running Microsoft Access 2000" "SQL Queries for Mere Mortals" http://www.viescas.com/ -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Carl Vogt Sent: Thursday, January 05, 2006 6:50 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [ms_access] Understanding Runtime having a problem, You guys have been great helping me with my previous questions THANKS!! Now I have another one, my son and I have developed an Access Application (Access 2000), the original concept was to assume the clients had Office Pro and would have no trouble running an Access application. Now we were thinking of possibly releasing it with the Runtime (a long time ago I had the developers edition of Access v 2.0), now days the use of runtime is a bit confusing.. First, do you use a .MDE file when you use the runtime? Second, what package do you need to get the runtime for Access 2000 It looks like if we upgrade to 2003 to get the runtime for distribution we need the office upgrade and Visual Studio about $900 worth of software. Am I missing someting?? Thanks in advance for your help Carl Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
