Not from Microsoft, but there are unsold, unopened, unused copies of many versions of most software _somewhere_. The problem is finding them available from a reliable source. Just today, at my computer users group meeting, one of my colleagues was describing someone who came to him with a computer loaded with Microsoft software purchased via an online auction which turned out to be 'bogus', pirated, and unable to be registered. Fortunately for the person, with a lot of effort, he got his money back, reported the piracy to Microsoft and Microsoft sent him a free, licensed copy of the same software. On the other hand, I've talked to people who've purchased software from eBay, were careful to demand unused, unopened, unregistered software with the original key, and had a good experience. I had a personal acquaintance who wanted a Developer Edition of Office 97, and found one that was 'new, unused', but had to pay a premium price (in Access 2000 days, before the SPs that resolved A2000's issues). I've recently seen some copies of Access 2003 advertised on eBay, but no "runtime" noted. Perhaps you could get each of them a copy of Access 2003 for a reasonable price -- that should run your Access 2000 database. If you can find, local to you, a dealer who resells back versions (and has a good reputation), that would likely be the best source; if anything goes wrong, you know who to go to get the issue addressed. There once were several in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, but I haven't done any business with any of them in 20+ years. -- Larry Linson Microsoft Office Access MVP Co-Author, Microsoft Access Small Business Solutions, Wiley 2010 "croy" <hate@spam.invalid.net> wrote in message news:0no8i918k7aufao806intvft1mhrku3bt3@4ax.com... > I'm running Access 2000, and I'd like to be able to > distribute a database "application" I built to a few family > members. > > Is it still possible to get the developer's whatever for > Access 2000? > > -- > Thanks, > croy
