Access app does not run under access runtime

[Guest]

Hi,
I developed a serial COM application it runs under access 2000, 2002, 2003
but not under access runtime version 10 (Access Runtime version 2002).
The application is compiled to an MDE file.
What shall I do to solv the problem?

thanks a lot

First off, explain in detail "does not run".

There are certain things that are just not supported in the runtime and you
might have hit one of them, but without knowing more about what your program
does and the nature of the problem it would be difficult to speculate.

In addition to what Rick said:

You can test your program in a runtime environment by starting Access with the /runtime switch ... build a shortcut with
a target like this:

"Full path to msaccess.exe" /runtime

and you'll be able to debug in a simulated runtime environment.

That's not simulated -- that *is* the runtime environment, no?

Yes, I suppose you'd be right. I should have written something like "you'll be able to debug in the runtime environment
more easily, instead of installing the runtime on a test machine, or using virtual software like vmWare or Virtual PC".
