[AccessD] MDE question

another method for distribution and not worrying about what version your 
user have is to deploy your mde with a runtime. This way you can ensure that 
your db will work fine. W/ the latest sagekey scripts (wise installer). it 
is possible to deploy a runtime A) doesn't need the digital certificate and 
B) it keeps context menus for importing and exporting data for merging w/ 
excel/word. of course there's the added benefit w/ sage that you won't have 
to worry about a user haveing their install conflict w/ an existing Access 
version on the users machine.
