[AccessD] Runtime Limitations?

The /runtime switch doesn't completely emulate the runtime environment.
You need to start the app from a runtime installation in order to see
the real behavior.  I learned that lesson a long time ago.

Hello Charlotte,

I know the standard limitations of a runtime version - these are well
described on the MSDN website.  My applications handle these well.

My goal is to offer the use of runtime versions to clients where they
don't want to install full versions of Access.

Apparently I read something wrong because when I tested using the
/runtime switch, API's, FSO, and spellchecking all worked fine.

Thanks,
Dan

Not true.  Your references are part of the database, not of Access.  The
main differences are in some odd places, like the fact the you have to
specifically set toolbars in code because runtime doesn't recognize the
property setting and unhandled errors simply dump you out of the
database.  What is it you want to do?

Marty,

I thought I read that I could only use code that is part of Access.  For
example, no automation of Word, Excel, or other applications.

It wasn't as specific as CurrentDB, or CodeDB (what is CodeDB?).

Do you know where I could find a useful list of the differences between
runtime Access and the full version?

Thanks,
Dan

Are you referring to the proper use of CurrentDB and CodeDB in addin
MDE's
