Subject: [AccessD] Access 2007 runtime automating old office apps

Is it possible for the 2007 runtime to automate the older versions of office
apps such as excel and 
word?

I have a client who is still on Office 2000.  They just see no reason to do
the upgrade jig.  OTOH, 
Access has had a lot of bug fixes and new functionality.  If I could use
2007 to build a runtime of 
their Access application the client might be interested in that, however I
do use automation, word 
merge mostly, but the potential exists to need excel automation.

So will the 2007 runtime allow me to use automation on the 2K versions of
the office apps on the 
user machine?
