Package & Deployment

[StefanSch]

I am using Access Developer 2000.

Is it possible to add the runtime files of MS Access 97 to my MS Access 2000 application with the Package and Deployment Wizard? If yes, I would download the runtime files somewhere on the net. This would make the package much smaller.

StefanSch,

I don't know but am just guessing that the answer is no. Access97 cannot recognize A2K format so it seems most unlikely.

I do not understand the huge growth in the run-time developer at all!?!

Perhaps someone with more experience can give their 5 cents.

Other studies have led me to believe that the addition of Unicode for the character set has a lot to do with the increased filesize of Access 2000 dBs.

Seems like there are some compression options also that reduce the impact somewhat.
