Current Version of Office Developer Edition

[R. Wunderlich]

I am trying to find the current version of Microsoft Office ????
Developer Edition that allows the developer to distribute applications with
a current version of access runtime e.g Access 2002 .
I can not find this in any microsoft catalog or source. Is Microsoft doing
this a different way. Information as to source and the correct name of the
product performing this runtime distribution function would sincerely be
appreciated. Bob

MS likes to change the name every once in a while.

At least they put "Access" back into the name. IMO the versions called
"Office" Developer's Edition were misnamed.
