Access Runtime - How do I do it!?!?!?! 1

[Stevehewitt]

Hi Guys,

I have written an App in Access 2003 and I want to distribute it to people without Access installed. I've heard information about "Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System" which has a runtime with it.

Is this all I need to purchase to distribute the app, or do I also need to buy Visual Studio.net or just the Visual Studio Tools for Office?

Any help appreciated!!!

Cheers,



Steve.

Hi
Have you seen:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d.../odc_ac2003_ta/html/odc_AcBasicsofRuntime.asp

The article contains this line:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" /runtime "drive:\path\file_name"

Is this what you mean?

Thanks for that link Remou, very useful! I've used the /runtime switch before, but it still requries the users to have a copy of Access installed.

Lupins46, thanks for your response. If all I need is Visual Studio Tools for Office without having to buy Visual Studio.net then I'll make the purchase.

Cheers for your help guys,



Steve.

You don't need Visual Studio.
