[AccessD] Runtime when full version is installed

John,

  No need for the run-time.

  Distribute as a MDE and use the SysCmd(acSysCmdRuntime) call to determine
if it started in run-time mode and if not quit the app.

  Then give them a shortcut on the desktop with the /runtime switch.

  If they use anything other then the shortcut, they go no where.

Jim.

Subject: Re: [AccessD] Runtime when full version is installed

As a non-profit they got something like 50 licenses from Microsoft for
almost nothing.  They want 
the full version on the employees machines so that they can use all of the
other office applications 
and all be using the same version to do so.

I don't want them using the full version on the Access application simply
because is exposes the 
application.  I will probably go with a "compiled" version (MDE) once it
stabilizes but for now 
using the runtime will help me keep users where they belong.

need Access on all machines? We've never had a client - profit or none -
with that demand; we always use the Office 2010 for home and small business
with the cheap PCK license.
