Access Runtime - trying to figure out what is needed...

[Guest]

This seem to be an endless loop.

I have an office access app that needs to run on temp PC's for a tradeshow.
I am unable to find the runtime package. Any pointers?

It comes with the Office Developer edition, not Pro, not standard, but
Developer.

Problem is there is no longer a product called "Office Developer Edition".
Microsoft seems determined to change what it's called every couple years so
nobody can buy it.

Quite agree Rick

The 'developer' bits are now a component of Visual Studio - see:

Thanks! Just to make sure I have this correct:

"Visual Studio Tools For Office" is what I find on MS. Is this correct.

Correct. Be careful when purchasing, though, to ensure that the VSTO you
purchase includes Access Developer Extensions (ADE), as that's what actually
contains the runtime. (Not sure if it's still the case, but there were
versions of VSTO 2003 out there that didn't include ADE)

Office 2000 Developer is and Office 2003 Developer,I think, are each
available on eBay from time to time.

Thanks all!

I have found this on MS:

http://www.microsoft.com/products/i...515c9859-958b-4433-b4f9-91f37258ca2f#HowToBuy

It is also listed on Amazon:

I think it has all that is needed for Access Runtime....
