Question about distributing db with runtime

[Damon Heron]

I posted this a while ago and got no response in setupconfig, so will try
here. I want to use Inno to create a download version of my Access runtime
app.
(Using 2007, but app is in 2003 format). So, I have the runtime.exe file,
my Access file with a accdr extension, backend mdb, etc., but do I have to
worry about references in my mdb? I currently have
VB for apps..
MS Access 12.0 Obj Lib
OLE Autom....
MS DAO 3.6 Obj Lib

(Eliminated Office 12.0 because all I used it for was the File Dialog. Use
Ken Getz routine instead.)

I guess my question is do I need to include any files associated with
these references in my script or are they part of the Access Runtime?

Thanks in advance
Damon

Those references are the basic ones, and they should work fine if the
Access runtime is installed. Regarding the version, Access will
automatically "fix-up" versions to match the ones found on the PC
under most circumstances.

Do you have a clean machine to try it on? You can use a Virtual PC if
you don't have a physical one.

I have not tried Virtual pc, will download it and see how it goes. I think
I am okay though.

Thanx,
