Best method to get Access 2013 (1 Viewer)

[GBalcom]

Long story short, I think I'll need 1 new license of Access 2013

Docmd.OutputTo does not work in access Runtime, and I need VBA code to be able to output a report and email it. :banghead:

What is the best way to purchase old licenses? I develop in 2013, and don't want to go higher at the moment.

Access Runtime does not perform as Full installed access.
therefore, some of its functionality is reduced.

you can Emulate runtime using, and test your OutputTo:

msAccessPath\MSAccess.Exe dbname.accdb /runtime

No idea on how legit they are but : https://www.softwaregiants.com/en_u...YXhY0GuXy-ENnuJ8WlWS7LxOJrA47sREaAhAmEALw_wcB

And are you sure about DoCmd.OutputTo not working in Runtime?
I'm certain I used that method to generate PDFs that are then emailed in Access.

Edit: I've just checked a legacy app and I know that definitely worked on RT;

  DoCmd.OutputTo acOutputReport, "repContract_Schedule_master", acFormatPDF, strSavePath & strContractDocId, , , , acExportQualityPrint

What error are you getting?

Hi. Are you looking for license only and not the software, right? I wonder if licenses for newer versions can apply to older versions. You might ask MS about it. Also, I don't understand why OutputTo doesn't work with runtime. What version of runtime are you using? You might try using a higher version of runtime just to test.

OK,
turns out I do not need a new version. Found this gem after an intensive search this morning: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/F...ng-a-report-from-2010-runtime?forum=accessdev

Long story short, Docmd.OutputTo does work in runtime....IF you open the report in print preview first. No idea why, but it's working in Runtime now. Yay!

Hi. Congratulations! Glad to hear you got it sorted out. Good luck with your project.
