Office XP Developer suite

[micsak]

I want to use Office XP Developer suite in order to make exe file my Access application. Do you know if I can download free of charge from Internet and if yes can you give me the link?

Regards
Michael

Can you not post the same question in different places - it confuses people - this question is posted under Modules

Office XP Developer is not shareware...or freeware

Costs about 400.00

1) $400? I beg to differ. A fully licensed version of XP developer runs about double that in most cases. The cheapest I could find it was at my college, only after the discounts and education discount.
2) You will not make an .exe from the developer edition. You can package your MDB with a runtime version of access that (if set up properly) will emulate an executable program. THIS IS NOT AN ACTUAL EXE.

If you REALLY need to make an actual exe that will work with your MBD, I recommend developing something with VB6 and linking it to your tables. The packaging wizard in VB will allow you to include the MDB within the installation process.

For what it is worth, I purchased a copy of XP Developer in July, 2002 for $476 at dealdealdeal.com.
