...they renew the download every few months so you have to dl and reinstall 
the new vhd ...but other than the hour or less that takes to put everything 
back in play, it works a trick ...theres a recent thread on this in the 
archives that you should rummage through but my personal experience with it 
has been all positive ...and totally free :)

...this is ostensibly provided for those of us doing web development that 
need to be able to test against various versions of IE without having 
systems dedicated to just that ...but it works just as well for those of us 
running various versions of Access ...especially, in my case, testing my 
apps in a true runtime environment vs a full Access install where the 
runtime switch doesn't really do an accurate simulation.

...hth
