Runtime Applications

Run Timing Applications

I have a number of Applications I want to run-time. Ideally I could pay someone else to do this. Alternatively, I assume this is done with Access Developer Edition, how difficult is this to learn or is it one of those a little knowledge is dangerous areas. I am a reasonably advance Access programmer.

I had proposed that this be a service on this site.

"Would it be legal to have someone create a run-time version of a database they made? Maybe that could be a service. Say I have a database but don't have (and can't afford) Access Developer , maybe you could take my existing database and make a run-time version of it for a flat fee??"
- I never did get a response to that so I assume it's not legal? Maybe someone here can clarify this issue.

have someone create a run-time version of a database

- there is NO such thing. The developer's edition does not change your db in any way. It only provides a license to distribute the runtime version of MsAccess.exe.

Before you embark on using the runtime, you need to test your programs with it since you'll probably need to make changes. From Start/Run type the path to access followed by the path to your db followed by /runtime. This simulates the runtime environment.

I knew that but didn't think about it. With that being the case, would it be legal for someone (DPerson) with the developers edition to take someone else's (SPerson) database and package it with the developers edition to be able to distribute (together with the runtime version of Access) on behalf of SPerson?

I'm not a lawyer but it would seem to violate at least the spirit of the license.
