Access 2000 Run-Time version

[Nicolae Fieraru]

Hi All,

I would like to know if the Access Run-time can be installed and used on
computers without being purchased.
From what I know, in the past, it was available to download from Internet
(not sure if Microsoft had it on their web sites).
In case it can't be installed without a licence, can it be purchased
separately, or is there a way of using Access databases (not in design mode)
without having to purchase Office? I am particularly looking for Acces 2000
runtime, in case it matters.

Regards,
Nicolae

The Runtime can be legally distributed royalty free to *users* of an application
provided by a *developer* who has purchased the developer's version of Access.
It is not a free download.

You need the Developer Tools for your version. You are then licensed
to distribute Access runtime with your application.

For Access 2000 you'll probably need to find a source other than
Microsoft to get the Developer Tools. Be sure to specify your version
when you are looking and ordering. The name changes with every
version.
