Creating a Runtime Version

[Casperov]

Heeeeeelp,

I read this, but I do not know how to go about obtaining this:

the developer's edition has the Package and Deployment wizard, which will allow you to make package which will install the Access Run-time engine and your database on the user's machine.

Thanks,

I read this, but I do not know how to go about obtaining this:

Well, for starters, ask someone at your friendly local computer software supplier store. You might be able to find what you want there, or they can order it for you.

If that doesn't work, a good, old-fashioned general web search for "Access Developer's Kit" ought to turn up some references that lead to on-line stores that provide the kit for you.

I doubt you'll be able to find a free download site for such a thing, though. Microsoft tends to frown on anyone else freely providing anything with their copyrights and trademarks on it.

Got Dev Tools for XP, but...

...I am getting errors. The Package and Deployment tool keeps closing down. I have both Access 2002 and Access version 7.0 on my pc. I am supporting both apps, that is why I have more than one version of Access on my pc.

Does anyone have any experience with my situation?

I have uninstalled Office XP Developer and will try again. As well, I tried to install a service pack, but it kept giving me the error that I had the wrong version. Maybe because I have two versions of Access.

Any info would be helpful,

Thanks,

new errors...

I have gotten past the initial error regarding the system being open. For now I am receiving another error message:

swstub.exe - Application Error: memory could not be read.

what am I missing here?
