Don't need a runtime with ASP either. Just the DB dumped on some server, then ADO to access the db via VB script, as long as the server has IIS installed.

Someone mentioned MSDE. You could go with that and write a VB or ASP front end. Then your client would not need Access or the runtime. Off list is Ok with me. -Anthony -----Original Message----- From: Peter Chiavaro [mailto:kp@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 10:43 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: MS Access 97 Developers Kit Ok,, understood, but couldn't you simply fix the glitch and re-burn the = EXE? I need some further info (if and when you have time). Can I have your permission to email you privately? No sense to busy-up = this list with a subject that no one is interested in. Peter C. Stuart, Florida ? Kp@xxxxxxxx -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- ICQ =3D 412633 -----Original Message----- It was expensive. I never used the 97 version, I have the 2000 version. Creating a runtime database is pretty straight forward. When the runtime = is created all the code is locked, not even the creator can get to it, the = same with the database itself. The exe that is distributed needs to be glitch free, because you can't go back and fix it. =20 ************************************************************* PLEASE READ!!!!
