Access runtime

[John]

Hi

I have MSDN subscription. I can see Access 2003 and Access 2007 in downloads
but not any of the runtimes. Where can I get Access 2007 runtime?

Many Thanks

Regards

You can get the 2007 runtime here:

Thanks. I have downloaded and installed the runtime. I have also downloaded
and installed Access Developer Extensions.

1. Where and how can I create distributable for my app?

2. What is a ACCDE in contrast to MDE?

Many Thanks

Regards

ACCDB is the new database format in Access 2007. Many of the new features
are available in the ACCDB format only. For the ACCDB file, ACCDE is the
executable (in exactly the same way as MDE is the executable only form of an
MDB file.)

Follow Microsoft's instructions for creating the runtime app. To be honest,
I haven't done it yet, as there are too many bugs in Access 2007 to make a
reliable application yet. I expect to get into it as soon as MS releases SP1
for Office 2007.

If you are struggling with the new interface in A2007, or interested to know
what bugs and compatility issues you need to be aware of, see:
