Access runtime version

You need to purchase the Access Developers Edition, if you are an MSDN
subscriber it is available for download with most types of subscriptions. I
don't think you can get the Access 2000 version, but the 2003 version should
do what you want.

The easiest way to get what you want is to obtain a copy of either Office
2000 Developer or Office XP Developer as the Access runtime is basically the
same for either version.
I'm not sure if there's a Developer version of Access 2003, or if it comes
as part of the package, maybe one of the other regular posters could
enlighten us.

It will be difficult to get hold of the XP developer, and almost impossible
to get hold of the 2000 developer new from a software retailer. You may need
to do some hunting around on places like E-bay to see if you can get what you
want.

Another possible solution is to develop a front end using something like
VB.Net, but you will obviously need to obtain the programming environment for
that, although the advantages of the .Net framework being free are plus
factor.

Yes there is ADE 2003

Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions, if you really need Access Runtime
for 2000, by purchasing the latest version, you would be allowed to run a
previous version, talk to MS about it, they can sell you media disks if you
are licenced correctly.

Yeah the .Net framework is free but you've just doubled or tripled the
time to create a comparable system. Which would also required
someone experienced in programming.
