How to create a runtime-only database?

[Guest]

I have a database (front-end and backend are in seperate Access MDBs), and
need to know exactly how to create a distributable runtime product. This is
necessary because the client's PC might not have Access on it. So please,
what do I do (I installed the Developer's Edition) in order to make this
happen?

Secondarily, how will this affect the presentation of my forms, and does the
runtime version of the application disable the Objects window?

Thanks!

Dear Dennis,

With the developer ediotn you can build a Setup.exe from your database with
included the Access-Runtime-Setup - for the first time, it would be working.
For doing that, you have to Install the part of it from the Developer CD,
than you can choose the Helper at the Codewindow in your Database (ALT+F11)
I prefer to biuld my Setup.exe with a tool, that´s free - Innosetup and
ISTool. You have many more possabilies for your setup - search for, gives a
lot of pages.
With the Runtime-Version the User can only work with your Database, how
you´ve coded.

I cannot seem to locate the developer's tools after installation. How can I
find them?
