There are 2 listings here one for a book the other for software. http://search.ebay.com/office-xp-developer_W0QQfclZ4QQfnuZ1QQfsopZ1QQxpufuZx I don't think I have done any automation with the developer version but I believe if you start Access XP with the /runtime parameter you will duplicate runtime. I'm sure people on this list smarter than me will be back tomorrow and add more.

What happens with automating word and excel? John W.

There are a few listed on the web, for around $600. There is an update package but I don't know if it requires a previous developer package or not. Amazon lists it but is currently out. A full package is currently on EBay. I am of the opinion that the developer license allows you to distribute as many runtimes as you need to service projects that you deliver.

All machines are Windows 2K or XP. The application uses automation to do mail merge. Also automation to use Outlook. Outlook uses exchange server if it matters. The client currently has a mix of office 2K and XP and it causing headaches getting one version of the application to work on both versions of office everywhere, every time. I need to know the cost, how to get ahold of it etc. The Microsoft site runs you around and around (trying to avoid the cost issue I assume). John W.
