reports & runtime version of Access 97

[djjesp]

Hi,

We created an application with Access 97 and distributed it to users who only have a runtime access version.
Two problems when running the runtime version:
1. There's no printing option in the filemenu for reports(there is for forms), although shortcut crtl+P works.
2. Dates are not displayed correctly, it shows something like ?name. I format dates by using format(<date>,&quot;dd-mm-yyyy&quot
3. Graphs are not displayed, only the horizontal and vertical x,y lines and the legenda.

2 and 3 could be related, because the whereclause of the graphs contains a date part.

Anyone??

When creating your application did you add all the required &quot;Access Runtime Components&quot; these are not selected by default. ie. Microsoft Graph 97 Runtime Version components Hope this helps

Thanks Hymn, I'm gonna check if I added all those components. Due to authorisation, security and so, I won't be able to test it until tomorrow.
So thanks for your help, although I don't think it's the answer to the dateproblems ....

Hymn, how, where do I add those components to an existing mdb??

Hymn, I'll try to explain how it's set up in this company.
We're not exactly creating a runtime version. We just put the mdb on the netwerk. Depending the authority,userrights of the user he can access the mdb with a runtime version or a normal version. In case of the runtime version, we have the described problems, otherwise not.
Hopefully this makes a bit clearer.

Jesp
when you are creating the run time version these components need to be added.

We just put the mdb on the netwerk. Depending the authority, userrights of the user he can access the mdb with a runtime version or a normal version.

Once the run time version has created they can't be added, unless you re-create the run time version with the missing components and then re-distribulate again. There will prob. be more than one component missing. Hope this helps

So, you mean the people in my company that distributed the runtimeversion of access?
I will check that.
Thanks,
