[AccessD] Deployment Advice

Hi Rocky

Yes, I do this a lot.  However:

- I have got in the habit of opening the Access 2003 mdb in Access 2010, and 
create the mde there, using File=>Save & Publish=>Make MDE, before putting 
the mde on the production machine with the Access 2010 Runtime.  I don't 
think this is necessary, as I think an mde created directly in Access 2003 
will work, but I'm afraid I can't vouch for that.

- You need to set up the folder on the production machine as a "trusted 
location", which you can't do via the Runtime.  There are a couple of 
utilities around that you can use to do this... the one I use is just a 
little exe file that you put in the application folder and run it once...  I 
can track down where I got it from and let you know if you need.

Regards
Steve

Steve:

Will this work on an Access 2003 mde?  One of the client's constraints is
staying with 2003 for development.

TIA

Rocky

Where do I get these free versions of the runtime of which you speak?  Who
makes them?

TIA

Rocky

Hi Rocky

Not a complete answer to your question, but...  you can use the later (free)
versions of the Runtime, and your Access 2003 application should work fine
under them.

Dear Lists:

I have a client for who I have developed an app that runs his business.  The
business is commercial real estate appraisal.  Now he wants to turn this app
into a product and sell it to other commercial real estate appraisal
companies.  I gave him a copy of my book and told him to read it and if he
still wanted to do this, we'd talk.  He is undeterred.

So the question is how best to deploy and distribute the app.

The app was developed in A2003 and he wants to stay with 2003.

The target user may or may not have Access so a run-time is required.

At the moment I own Wise/Sagekey and can create a script for him and so I
can make installable exe files - both for Access and run-time.

But that means he's tied to me to make product.  He's not worried about this
but I don't want the responsibility.  I'm trying to be an old retired guy,
you know.

BTW Wise is out of business - the Wise Installer is no longer supported.
Not a problem in the short run - the product works just fine.

So what are my alternatives?
