John, For my own applications I do almost 100% of the front end with the Access Runtime. Either using the runtime version or the full version in runtime mode (/runtime) "User-proof" error handling is a must. Any error that is not trapped will cause Access in runtime mode to shut down. Here are some links that might should be helpful: http://www.utteraccess.com/forum/Overview-Packaging-Acces-t496338.html http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa167800%28v=office.11%29.aspx http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/aa905403.aspx http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/access-help/obtain-and-deploy-the-access-2 003-runtime-HA001120886.aspx With 2003 you have to purchase a license to distribute the Access 2003 runtime with your database. I have not been able to get a definite answer on the use of the Access 2007 runtime to run an Access 2003 database if you do not own a license for Access 2007. FYI: I have found that that if you have purchase a version of Office 2003 that does not include the full version of Access that you will find on the Office installation CD a Access runtime installer. My understand is that if a user has purchased the version of Office which includes the Access runtime then they have a license to use the Access runtime on the same machine where they install Office. This does not include the license to distribute the Access 2003 runtime.

I am writing in 2003, and will then "do the runtime" whatever that means. Is there a "how to" that you recommend? In this case I can go through the pain of a personal install in each user's computer if required. -- John W.
