Install an access application

[Jac Tremblay]

Hi,
I have never installed an Access application on a user computer that doesn't
have Access.
I looked for information about the subject but could not find answers to all
my questions (many posts refer to Access 2000 or even Access 97).
I have developped an Access 2007 application (in the 2000 format) and would
like my client to try and test it. He doesn't have Access on his computer and
I do not want to force him to to buy it.
Do I need an installation program ?
Can I just copy the FE and BE on his computer along with some DLL?
What are my options?
Thanks for your help.

No. Fortunately the A2007 runtime is free though.
