Put Program On Internet

[Brian Delange]

I have a computer question for you.

I have a Visual Basic program that is used on desk PCs. The database
is Access 2000.
Each PC has it's own copy of the program.

The company now wants to put the program on the Internet thus making
it available to
customers in addition to employees.

Any suggestions on how I should approach this?

You need Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions, which is a
component of Microsoft Visual Studio® Tools for the Microsoft Office System.

A developer who owns Visual Studio Tools for Office can bundle his
application (MDB files and any other support files) with Access 2003 Runtime
and distribute it to as many users as necessary. The physical runtime files
are included with Microsoft Office 2003 Professional Edition or Microsoft
Office Access 2003.

Access 2003 Runtime is, in essence, Microsoft Access 2003, but with a few
key features disabled. A user with Access 2003 Runtime installed instead of
full Access can open and run an Access application (either an MDB file or,
with a few extra steps, a SQL Server back-end database) but does not see the
Database Window and cannot switch the view of any Access object to Design
view.
