Re: Access 2000 Developer Edition?

Show all headers | View raw

The folks at FMS, Inc. (a noted seller of Access software, etc.) have a page 
summarizing use of runtimes, and it appears that you'll need to convert your 
database to v 2003 (should not be a problem -- I've never encountered a 
problem with 2000 -> 2003), then get Office Developer Extensions for Office 
2003, and download and use the runtime that matches the Office installed on 
the user's system (if you use Spell Check, for instance).

Thanks to Luke Chung and his colleagues at FMS for gathering and posting the 
information.
