Does anyone know how to create a run-time version for a Microsoft Access 2003
database? Do I need some special software?
Thanks,
Sarah

Hi Sarah,
Microsoft has a viewer for MS Access at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdate/CD010863161033.aspx
Their definition:
Snapshot Viewer is a program that you can use to view, print, and
electronically mail a snapshot of a Microsoft Access report.
With this, you don't need to do anything special on your end, but the user
will require this install.
The only thing is that you cannot see the database window, toolbars etc.
Your access database will have to have a startup form and other forms to
interface any tables etc, that you may want the users to see.

Hi Denny,
That's not exactly what I'm looking for. I know about the snapshot viewer
software. I want to be able to give a run-time version of my database to a
user who doesn't have Microsoft Access.

For a run-time version of Access, you need the Developer Toolkit. Once
installed, you simply invoke the Package Wizard from the VBA window.

You need to purchase the following in order to create an Access 2003 runtime
application:
- Microsoft Access 2003
- Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003 (which includes the Access 2003
Developer Extensions)
The ADE is the product that gives you the license to deploy the 2003 runtime
components and you have to have Access 2003 installed in order to install
the ADE.
If you're using MSDN, note that while VSTO is available in all subscription
levels of MSDN, the Access Developer Extensions are not included with all
versions. ADE is only available at Universal level.
The stand-alone VSTO box includes both VSTO and the ADE.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/office/officetools.aspx for more
details

Actually, since VSTO 2005 is out now, you'll probably have to purchase that,
not VSTO 2003.
