I tried a couple. I would politely describe them using phrases such as 'rubbish' and 'this is a waste of time'.
I've done conversions like this and it is not too hard. Draw the forms yourself, cut and paste a good deal of the code, fix quite a lot of problems with global edits, and re-do the reports in crystal or similar. Peter Meachem

3) ACCESS RUN-TIME MINIMUM RELEASED
---------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps you're among the developers who've been
frustrated by the fact that the Access 2000 Run-Time
takes 150MB to install---not counting your own database!
One of the culprits in that bloat is the "hidden"
installation of Internet Explorer 5.0 that comes along
with every runtime application.
Well, Microsoft has addressed this problem to some extent
with the new Access Run-Time Minimum; you can grab it at
This version leaves out all but the essential IE5 files,
with the result that it weighs in at a relatively svelte
70MB.
It's a sobering thought that the "minimum" size of
anything can be larger than the combined disk space on
the first four PCs that I owned, but I guess that just
shows my advancing age.
