A couple of additional notes:
The target PC must be running the Windows operating system. There is no
Access runtime available for Mac, Linux, Unix, etc.
You can simulate the run-time by starting Access with the /runtime switch.
This will allow you to test your application, to see if it runs without any
errors as a runtime app. Click on Start > Run and type in: msaccess /runtime
"PathToYour.MDBFile"
This will work as long as you don't have multiple versions of Access
installed on the same PC. Otherwise, create a shortcut that points to the
correct version of msaccess.exe, and include the /runtime switch.
You must have a startup form, either via Tools > Startup or using an
Autoexec macro.

Hi PRH,
You can create what is known as a run-time installation. You need to have
the developer's version of Access (2000/2002) or the Microsoft Office Access
2003 Developer Extensions for 2003. This gives you an unlimited distribution
license. Here is a link on Tony Toew's web site that provides more details:

As it's name implies, a run-time installation will not allow the person to
make any design changes to any objects. They can enter, print & delete data
without a problem; they just cannot make any structual changes.

Can anyone tell me whether there is a way of sharing a Microsoft Access
database with someone who does not have Access installed on their PC?
