Can anyone help?. Please can anyone explain what the advanatges of Access Run
time are?, and forward any URL that explains or give examples. Specifically
I am interested to know whether or not run time would allow an end user to
view, edit, delete records but not create a new MDB.

What would be required?.

Examples of this / URL would be great!.

The runtime, among other things, does not allow you to go into design
view or see the database objects. So they can't create a new MDB or
objects. They can only use forms and reports that you give them to
use.

And you save on the licensing fees as you do not have to install MS
Access on each system as you can distribute the runtime royalty free.
