I have read thru all the posts on Access Runtime.
Some suggest you purchase Visual Studio 2005 Tools For Office, some suggest
Just Access 2007 - I have purchased Microsoft Office Professional 2007
I would really prefer to stay with my Office 2003 databases that I have
designed.
In reading the posts it appears you can use the Access 2007 Runtime to package
and deploy an Access 2003 database. Which I assume you have to load the
Office 2007 completely to use the Access Runtime Did this on my vista
machine an really turned into a mess simply because when i tried to open 2003
the installer kept running like no tomorrow.
When creating the package using the 2007 runtime - do i need to convert the
databases to 2007 ? And for the end user if they have Access 2003 on there
machine will there be any conflicts ? Also i have read its not a recommended
practice to keep earlier versions of Office on your machine. But really want
to stay with Office 2003 for now and what happens to a database if they only
have 2003 - i would think that a 2007 database would not run at all.
I apologize if this question insults anyone - but I am just so confused on
what
i should use or what I should buy. Money is tight when ya outta work - we all
know that feeling.
Any direction would certainly be appreciated
Thank you
