Hi Everyone,

its common knowledge that you can compile your database with 2007 developers kit into an executable that deploys your program. ( on the basis that you have converted it to an accde ). with the tool kit is the option to add the runtime for non access licenced users.

question is, can you force the runtime? i mean, if the user already has access and they install your program, will it run the runtime or start the full access?

also, what is the best way of securing your finished item? sure you can turn off the options but can a full access user turn them back on again?

regards,

NS
 
You can force them to only open it using the runtime by making this code run during startup:

Code:
If SysCmd(acSysCmdRuntime) = False Then
 (give them a warning message or something)
  DoCmd.Quit
End If

You also need to give them a shortcut to open the program with the runtime switch in it.
