[AccessD] Acc97 run-time question.

I would never think about just releasing it w/o testing it.  The client has
a test system that we can use.  

I talked to the client yesterday and we determined that the office has
office XP on their systems.  So I suggested to them that there have been
problems loading the runtime onto systems with the full different version of
Office (per Charlotte).  So I think that I have nixed that idea for them.

Basically, the whole gist of what I was trying to do was to load the runtime
on a system without loading any programs other than the runtime.  When I ran
the setup wizard with an empty database as the program to install, it only
created 1MB of files.   I figured that the runtime would be much larger than
that.

Anyway, I do not have to worry about it now.  But thanks to all that
replied.

...you absolutely have to do a trial install on a clean system ...there are
a number of things that work in Access that don't work in the runtime
installs ...and damned little info from MS on them :(
