Access runtime 2003

[firestorm]

We are considering rolling out a number of access reports to users within our organisation who currently do not have access installed, nor do we want them to. Run time seems the obvious route.
I see the runtime module is included in Access 2003 but I cant see if you have to install Access on the users PC in a "Runtime mode only" way or if the Developer tools have to be purchased to get the package wizard so you can send the package out with run time.
Basically we want users to be able to access the database from the server but we do not want them to have the ability to do any thing else in access . i know read only rights will enable that to be done in the particular database but we don't want them building their own db's and the bothering IT when they come across something difficult....

Thanks

I had read that and that does indicate that whilst access allows you to prepare the product for distribution , it does not give you the tools (package wizard) , or allow you, to distibute it . Also it does appear to be aimed at those who will be distributing externally (hence the royalty free bit), whereas we are keeping this internally.
