Access '97 Patch

[Radman]

I've heard of a patch that will enable a access database to run with out access '97. I.e it will create a exe type file of the database that you created and run that way.

Does anyone know anything about this??

Thanks Radman

Hi radman,

i'll be cheeky and say C++ or VB,

but i'd also be interested if its distributable as opposed to having clients buy 97.or worse buying the runtime version!


see ya

Get the "Microsoft Office 97 Developer's Toolkit". It contains the setup wizard which gives you the liscence to distribute the run-time version of Access with your database.

I've got it (I bought it on ebay for $53), and it works great.
