Well, if you read the help file included with Access 2003, you can find out all about it. Here's a quote:

quote:

Microsoft Office 2000 Developer contents
Microsoft Office 2000 Developer provides advanced tools that developers can use to create and distribute custom applications.

The Office 2000 Developer includes the following:

Microsoft Office Premium CD-ROM
Office Developer Tools CD-ROM
A royalty-free distribution license (including the Microsoft Graph run-time application) and tools that allows you to distribute copies of your custom Microsoft Access applications to all your users, whether or not they have Access installed on their computers.



Go to the Contents tab and click on Programming Information..Microsoft Office 2000 Developer Contents. They never upgraded the stupid helpfile for 2003. Basically, you have to buy the Developers edition before you can distribute Access as run-time. Otherwise, the clients just have to buy Access 2003.
