John, We have had pretty good luck with Access 2007 Runtime. There are two main reasons why we deploy it for our users. 1) It is free (We have only purchased one "full version" and we have many copies of the Runtime) 2) It automatically locks things down so that users cannot get at the VBA code, change things, etc. If you run into issues, please post them and I will try to help if I can. You have posted an incredible amount of valuable info here on AccessD which has been beneficial to the rest of us. Now maybe we can offer a helping hand to you with Runtime.

You are the first person in the group to really fess up to using the run time. It has been a learning experience trying to get all of the details ironed out. Trying to troubleshoot if I have problems is a royal PITA since I have no clue how to get feedback from the application. From what I was reading the runtime did not allow changes to objects even programmatically. If it will allow that then I will be able to do much more with my apps. John W.
