Access Developer Extensions

[Patentinv]

I'm considering re-writing my access 97 database to access 2003 and turning it into a self-executing db for distribution to computers that don't have any versions of access installed.

I was told purchasing Microsoft visual studio tools for office 2003, which has access 2003 developer extensions, could do this.

Does any body have any experience with trying to accomplish this? And if so, are there any tek-tips that you can recommend to make this a little easier?

Thanks--any suggestions, would be appreciated.

Hi,
Developr extensions are available within the Developer edition of Office. The run time allows as you state to create run time versions of your DB for those machines that do not have Access or Office installed.

It creates a "bundle" with all necessary files and your DB.

I will put together a FAQ on this if you want.
