[AccessD] Access 2003 Runtime

 How do I start up the Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer 
Extensions? aka MOD 2003 aka ADE 2003
Assuming you have bought and installed VSTO

It's on the Program Files >> Microsoft Office >> Microsoft Office Access 
2003 Developer Extensions >> Package Wizard.

The Access 2003 Developer Extensions are part of the new (VSTO) Visual 
Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System software package.
  Note that you do not need Visual Studio or Visual Studio .NET.  Most 
of this VSTO  tool is directed at Excel and Word with XML and dotnet.
It includes
Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System
Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions ADE
Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition
Microsoft Visual Basic .NET

 What is the Access 2003 Developer Extensions?
 The ADE is a set of tools for Access 2003 developers that include the 
ADE Package Wizard, the Custom Startup Wizard and the Property
Scanner. The ADE also includes the royalty free license for distributing 
the Access 2003 runtime components.

Also see Obtain and deploy the Access 2003 runtime with VSTO
Upgrade is $200 Original $500 US

There is also description of Property Scanner(like Speed Ferrets Search 
with  no replace ) and Custom Startup(look at digital signature for 
security)

There is a newer Visual Studio Tools for Office 2005 Beta
It is for Word and Excel connections to dotNet, I don't think it has any 
Access Parts. I haven't checked.
