[AccessD] Access 2003 Developer Edition?

I don't think there is a "tools upgrade" price, Rocky.  A developer license gives you the right to upgrade to Pro or Premium (I can't keep the versions straight) in 2003.  I never saw an upgrade path to the VSTO package anywhere I looked.  Developer gives you an upgrade path to Visual Studio.Net, I believe, but the VSTO is a separate package.

Marty:

A couple of weeks ago I was asking about deploying an Access product and trying to decide whether to go with Wise/Sagekey A2K script with an A2K mde. But I'd have to buy the A2K developer edition. as well as the Sagekey script.

Now it appears, IIUC, that I could buy Office 2003 and the Office Developer Tools (I've got A97 Developer license so I could get the Tools upgrade price, I think), and use the Developer Tools packaging wizard.

didn't detect any of the 'it really stinks' kind of review of earlier Access packagers.

Has you or anyone had any experience with it yet?  Is it a reasonable alternative?  It probably would have a longer life than going with an A2K solution.  One requirement I see is that the target machine has to have W2K or WXP but that shouldn't be too much of a problem as time goes on.
