Running Access 2000 runtime in windows95???

[datras]

Hi
I have developed my database in Access 2000 (English) and at a NT platform and made a runtime version and an .exe file with the WinZip self-extractor.

I have then tested the runtime version in Window 95 and Offices 97 (Danish) with no ACCESS. The installation went fine with both the Access 2000 runtime and the database. However, when trying to select data in my forms the database close with a runtime error. When I install the runtime version in offices 2000 and on a NT platform but without Access I have no problems at all.

When I select data a massage box is shown and it includes chr(13). I have earlier had problems with chr(13) when moving my old 97 version from the PC where I developed it, to an other PC. It turned out that if I removed references, which where not in use, from the VBA, this error disappeared. I have therefore checked that I only have included the needed references in VBA.

I would be very pleased to hear if others have had problems when running their 2000 runtime database in an other environment than the one it was developed in and if they have solved the problem.

Hi,

You mentioned that you removed unused references and that fixed the problem -- I assume this was on the development computer. It may be possible that the target computers are actually missing references that are available on your development computer. Check the references on your target computers to see if any are missing. This often happens if you use a custom ActiveX control and forget to include it in your setup package, or the setup process is unable to register the control. Rob Marriott

Hi Rob
When I removed unused references and it worked was when I moved the database from one pc to another and it was in offices 97. Now I am running 2000 and NT. The database works if I run my runtime version at a PC with 2000 and NT but without Access and VB. But not in windows 95 and 98.

How can I check the if references are missing at my test PC. I do not have access to VBA in the runtime version?
