Access 2007 Runtime

[Guest]

Runtime 2007 is out!!! I am having trouble finding detailed (step-by-step)
instructions on how to package an application for distribution for PC's that
do not have Access 2007. Can somebody explain how to do this for all of us
who are new to Access Runtime (and Access in general). Thanks in advance for
your help!

Just to add a bit more detail regarding what I am trying to accomplish...

I have written a program to be used for a non-profit organization (a youth
camp) that tracks campers, allergies, medications, accounts, etc. This is
not a large organization. I developed this app free of charge and thus I was
hoping to find a solution to distribute the application to them without many
additional expenses. I see that there is a digital signature available at
verisign for $500.00. Is there an alternative to this (relatively) expensive
option? Is there a way to distribute this to them (they know and trust me
and vice-a-versa)... Any step-by-step help that can be passed on would be
very much appreciated. Thanks!

There's not a lot of detailed instruction, but it's pretty straight forward. You'll need the 2007 Developer Extensions
as well as the Runtime. When using the Packaging Wizard, you can tell it to include the Runtime in your deployment. See
this link for more info:

I got mine from Comodo (www.instantssl.com) for around $150. You can always use the Self-Cert, but you'd then need to
distribute the private key for that certificate. See this for more info on digital certs:

Alternatively, your users could set the Macro Security level to Low, which would eliminate the security warnings. This
is not the recommended course of action, of course, but it will do the trick.

Have your installer add this to the registry:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Access\Security]
"Level"=dword:00000001

I'd be very surprised if that does any good for an Access 2007 application.

Access 2007 is version 12.0, not 11.0

Oops, sorry, you're correct!

I created my own certificate. It does nto indicate "TrustworthY' but it goes
to a small gorup of people and it cost nothing.

Ih Jan,

How do you do your own certificate? Could you tell me?
I did one but it works only in the computer where i did.

Thanks
