Version of Access and Runtime (1 Viewer)

[anski]

I am creating an application using Access 2007. The user does not have Access. Should I download the Access Runtime 2007 or can I use Runtime versions higher than 2007?

user runtime version where you created your db. much safer.

what do you mean? i should save the runtime file in the folder where i created the db?

@arnelgp meant that you should supply the same runtime version (A2007) to avoid potential problems.
I agree with that view.
Later versions MAY work without issues but there could be problems depending your code and Access features used.

got it, thanks. another question: when the user installs the runtime, what file/s are installed in the user's computer?

I don't know the answer to that but, as well as the Access runtime itself, it should include any reference libraries installed with the full version of A2007
