[THIN] Re: Access 97 on Presentation server 4.5 with Office 2007

How about a seperate server with just Access97 on?
Can the application be compiled into a runtime?
Wrap it and distribute it with Softricity (now a MS product)?
Or it may be more cost effective to convert it.

There are various issues I can see with this.
- Licensing. If you do it wrong, you'd need MS Office Professional
licenses for every MS Office user, whether they use / have access to
Access or not. (I don't think that will be an issue here though)
- Interaction with other office programs - you may want
same-generation office programs on there as well
- Support. 10-year old application causing issues = sorry - no support for that.
