Hi folks,

to give an overview about my intentions and what i did so far:

I have purchased Access 2003 (office sp1) and Visual Studio Tools for
Office
2005 in order to create msi-Files incl. the Access-Runtime with Package
Wizard based on an adp-project (developed with 2k, converted to 2k3)

I read on ms-website that access 2003 developer extensions (ade) are
delivered (/are provided) with Visual Studio Tools for Office, and that
ade
provides these wizards to create msi (with runtime) files.

Here I found a nice page with a link where to get ade:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/pro...nd%20Utilities
but it's dead.
The only file i found is a "german ade user interface pack" which needs
ade.
So where do i get these ade? On the cd, from an hidden microsoft server
or ...

Neither VSTO nor Access2003 GUI gives any menu entries.

Did I completely miss something ?

Any hints or pointing me to the right thread will be greatly
appreciated.

Michael

"... The Access 2003 Developer Extensions is not available as a
stand-alone product, but is included in your Microsoft Developer
Network (MSDN) Universal subscription, if you have one. The Access 2003
Developer Extensions also ships with the Microsoft Visual Studio®
Tools for the Microsoft Office System ..."

since i have no MSDN subscription i cannot search in this corner - but
BTW how is it delivered with the MSDN ?

but much more important:
actually i must have got it with VSTO delivered from my software seller
.... since i made a complete install of VSTO and did not find neither a
menu entry (do i have to start it on the cmdline?) nor an exe/msi/setup
on the cd - i have to consider the product was _not completely
delivered. is that right ?

thanx, michael
