Has anyone used Access runtime files successfully? What capabilities do I have if I install runtime on a computer without Access installed? Can I open or run a macro or report? Thanks, in advance.

Access runtime files are NOT redistributable through the VB6 license (you could use the MS Office developers kit, though it will cost extra).
If the client doesn't have a lincensed version of MS ACCESS, then the only things you can access are the data tables (data and structure) and workgroup information.
Repostrs can be opened through using the MS SnapshotViewer.Exe (download from MS).
All other objects (forms, modules, macros, application object) are not available with-out a reference to the MS Access Object Library (non-distributable - Client will have it if they have MS ACCESS) and the client having to have a licensed version of MS ACCESS.

Could you give me an example of how to use the snapshot viewer? All I need to do is print the report, I don't care if they can see it or not.
