| HiI am trying to find the most cost effective solution for me to roll out an access application. I am using Access 2002 and the database is SQL 2005. I have been advised that it's only with developer version that I could roll out a runtime version of the application and therefore not need the users to have ms Access installed.Can anyone advise please.Many thanks |

| The advice you have been given is accurate. There is a developer version that allows royalty-free redistribution of Access applications using a runtime version of Access. I couldn't locate the 2002 version right off, but here's a link to the 2007 version: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=D9AE78D9-9DC6-4B38-9FA6-2C745A175AED&displaylang=enBe prepared to do some polishing on your Access application. The runtime environment is different because some of the default functionality is hidden. It's still there and available, but you have to explicitly enable it. I'm not up on the newer versions, but there used to be a /RUNTIME switch you could put in a shortcut command line to run a full Access installation in runtime mode to test your work in the runtime environment. You might want to try it out to see what you're getting into. |
