Access Package and Deployment

[wazza]

Hi

I wish to package my database and deploy on a cd - as a runtime envionment

- I have compiled the vb code and converted the file to accesss 2002 and as an MDE file

- I have read some logs about using the 'package and deploment wizard'. I have an office suite with Access, Word, Excel etc - Is this wizard available to me?

- If not what do i need? and where can i get it from?

OffIce Developer 2000 is $350 on eBay. 2003 is $795 retail.

I haven't seen 2002 on eBay for a while.

Developer is Office Professional, plus a deployment wizard and some other programs.

Sorry bit confused there.....

so am I after 'Microsoft Office Developer'

or can i use 'Microsoft Office Proffessional'

??

Developer.

Do an eBay search with "office developer" and see what it has above and beyond Professional. The "above and beyond" is what you need ti generate a Runtime deployment.

Hey

I already have proffessional 2003 -
is it possible to buy addons... for the access deployment extentions

i seen something in Visual Studio .NET 2003
Is this what i require - or can i get an alternative package cheaper

????

Would I be able to deploy Access in runtime using the ADE provided by

" Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003 Upgrade" i found it on amozon for £150
