[AccessD] Runtimes - Preferably AccessXP but 2003 if absolutelyrequired

...for Access 2002(XP) you need the Office XP Developer Edition, which of 
course MS no longer sells ...this product gives you a license to distribute 
unlimited copies of the Access XP runtime ...you can either buy that version 
directly from a trusted source on the web or you can buy Visual Studio Tools 
for the Microsoft Office System (the Access 2003 version) and Microsoft will 
give you a copy of Office XP Developer Edition through a special program 
that you have to jump through hoops for...come to think of it, since they've 
released Office 2007, that program may no longer be available either..

...keep in mind that there is no runtime equivalent for Excel/Outlook/Word 
and if you reference Office 10 objects and call them from a system with only 
Office 11 installed, or vice-versa, the software will object ...hth.
