Access97 Run-Time .mde Application

[lad5ko via AccessMonster.com]

Hi everyone,

I have made a aplication in Access 2003. I know when I buy Access Developer
Extension 2003 I can make .mde run-time aplication and distribute it to my
Customer. This Application can work without Access 2003.
But I do not know if I can make with Access Extension 2003 .mde Application
ver. Acess97. Application from Access 2003 I can convert to .mde file ver.
A97. Can Access Developer Extension 2003 make run-time ver.97?

Thank you in advance

No. You would need the Office 97 Developer Edition to create an Access 97
runtime, and I'm afraid it has been difficult to find for quite some time
now.

Why do you need to create an Access 97 runtime? Do you have users who are
still using old versions of Windows (older than Windows 2000)?

Well, actually Access is still required. You just have to install the runtime
version instead of a licensed version.

But I do not know if I can make with Access Extension 2003 .mde
Application ver. Acess97. Application from Access 2003 I can convert
to .mde file ver. A97. Can Access Developer Extension 2003 make

No. The 2003 developer's kit can only install a 2003 runtime and you can only
make a 97 MDE with a copy of Access 97.

Simple rule. If you need to develop for multiple versions you need to OWN
multiple versions.

If Windows 98 is the earliest version you need to support, you don't have to
go all the way back to Access 97. You can use Access 2000 or Access 2002 if
you can find them.
