Alan,

The quick answer is 'Yes'. I've checked the system requirements for
Office XP Developer Edition, and Windows 98 is supported. There's no
reason why you can't deploy your 2000 or XP app to them packaged with a
current runtime version. When you get the Developer's edition, you'll
find the manual (yes, a real paper one!) has a whole section on
deploying apps with the Access runtime. I've just looked over it, and
there's nothing there that prevents you doing what you want to.

Subject: [mso] Access Developers edition- which one?


Hello,

I have several years experience of developing access databases from 97
and more recently in 2000.  In all cases the databases have been
designed for me or a colleague to use.  We then give reports in pdf
format or Excel to our Clients, rarely (very rarely) we hand over a
database file.  Normally the reason we do not hand it over is the speed
we develop at is such the database is not polished (at all).  We are
normally developing to solve a problem that needs an answer yesterday
and the answer is all that matters.  We do not add very much error
handling or data checks for user entry etc.

Our Client has now asked us to develop a peice of 'software' that we
hand over to them that allows them to continue asking and answering the
questions once the initial stage of analysis is finished- great from our
point of view as we have follow on work.

My problem is that they want it developed in Access 97 because they run
Windows 98. We need to give them a run-time version of the software and
therefore need a developers edition.   Not having used the developers
editions before and only able to find a price for XP Developer we need
to know if we can develop an application for other versions of Windows
using the XP developers edition.  Ideally I would like to develop the
application in A2000 or 2002 and hand it over as a run-time application.
Will this run on Windows 98?

Any input/thoughts will be appreciated,

Thanks,

Alan.
