[AccessD] Access 2003 Beta

  I had none but only installed the Office Beta refresh section not 
FrontPage etc.Although this new single Office refresh install also adds 
Publisher and InfoPath. I saw some complaints about FrontPage causing 
crashes if it asked for an Activation Key, solution was to remove and do 
total reinstall of entire beta. Refresh shouldn't ask for activation key.
  I see they have changed the deactivation date to Jan 31 2004 from Nov 
30th 2003

 I just noticed that to deploy Access 2003 Runtimes, you may need to 
have Visual Studio Net 2003
and thus have IIS installed so you would need WinXP Pro. It appears to 
deploy in .MSI file format.
The Property Scanner Add-In looks interesting to find object name 
occurances.

Access 2003 Developer Extensions Overview

Package Wizard
Access 2003 Developer Extensions include the Package Wizard that helps 
developers create professional setup routines for Access solutions. The 
wizard will automatically include the Access runtime files, if selected, 
along with the Access solution files that make up the solution.

The resulting setup uses the Microsoft Windows®-standard Windows 
Installer (MSI) for the installation routine and will automatically 
create shortcuts for the solution that use the appropriate Access EXE in 
cases where two different versions of Access are installed.
