Even though we haven't gotten the runtime re-distributable shipped yet,
Microsoft Office 2007 Key, you can run apps in Access 2007 in runtime mode. This will let you test solutions while waiting for the re-dist. In addition, it is a simple way to keep users from changing your applications even when they have the full app. You can use a long-standing command-line switch (documented here: to launch apps in runtime mode. Access 2007 makes this much easier,
Microsoft Office 2007 Professional, though. All you have to do is rename your app from *.accdb to *.accdr (e.g. MyApp.accdr). Then,
Office Professional 2010, when the app is opened,
Microsoft Office 2010 Professional, it automatically switched Access into runtime mode and you're off and running. We're working hard on getting the runtime shipped,
Microsoft Office 2010, but hopefully that will help in the meantime. Thanks, Erik. <div
