[AccessD] Building runtimes

Liz,

In fact I do own the developer's version of '97.  Unfortunately, unless you
are very careful, installing a runtime can damage current installs of later
versions of Access.  That is why the installer companies exist, because they
know how to do it right and charge for the knowledge.  The install builder
of the day just wrote over the top of...

I don't own one of the install builders, and they aren't cheap.  I am not
going to pay that much for this project.  I am not giving up on this yet
though.

I want to think I remember that this was easier with 97.  And your users
probably wouldn't care, so long as it worked.  Don't you have a stash of
ancient disks around?

Does anyone know if it is possible to build a runtime "without cost"?  I
have built a database pro bono for Learning Disabilities Association, a
(USA) nationwide non-profit association for parents of children with
learning disabilities.  I would like to make it available to all of the
state chapters but when I go look at the Microsoft site, I cannot for the
life of me figure out how to actually get whatever is required to build
runtimes.  I have Office 2000, 2002 (XP) and 2003.  I had the developers
edition for 2K but not since, and am not really sure I can find that.  I am
not making any money on this and don't particularly want to spend any money
on this.
