Runtime version of Access 2000 running MDE file with ActiveX Controls

[Cosmos75]

I have gotten an oppurtunity to create a database for someone. They have a runtime version of Access 2000. My question is, if I create an MDE file and give it to them would they run into any problems? I read here that they would be able to use the MDE file, but if my forms use any ActiveX Controls, would that be a problem with the runtime version of Access? Are there any legal issues with the runtime version of Access running my database? I assume that they have another database that we created for them and given to them with the runtime version of Access.

I plan to have a MBD backup to keep with me in case they ever want to add things?

I am going to try to document the desing of the database as much as possible, any good checklist of what to include in the documentation?

Any other suggestions or hints?

Pat Hartman,

THANK YOU!!!

I will search around here for more info on creating my own menus. I had no idea what to look for and running a search on Runtime Version 2000 MDE didn't turn up anything except my own thread!!

YOU ARE A JEWEL!!

cosmos - How d'you wrap up your mde into runtime?
I thought it needs to be initiated from vba but with mde one can't get into vba?
Thanks

To initiate the add-in package and deployment wizard for an mde, start access, alt+F11 to open the vb editor, alt+F11 to hide vb editor, open your mde whilst holding down the shift key, alt+F11 to open editor. Select wizard from add-ins.

Thats good and works!
Is there any way to run the deployment wizard straight from the operating system without opening access?
Thanks
