I'm trying to locate the Developer Extensions so that I can compile my Access 2003 application to distribute to my end user.
I'm getting totally lost in the myriad of documents and links on the MS website that keep sending my round in ever decreasing circles. I've downloaded Visual Studio Express - Visual Basic Edition but can't seem to find it in there.
Can anyone point me in the direction of the software that I need to be able to distribute my Access 2003 applications.
I forked out nearly £600 for Visual Studio.NET Professional Special Edtion, which was advertised as coming with the Visual Studio Tools for Microsoft Office. Which it did. I checked the Microsoft site and they advertised the VSTO as coming with the Access Developer Extensions, so I went ahead with the purchase.
Now I've since found out that the Access Developer Extensions are yet again separate from all this, so I will have to spend more money. That annoys me but I can live with it (I've no choice really), but where can I purchase the Access Developer Extensions CD? I have scoured the web and haven't found a single source, but apparently it does exist. As an additional note, I am based in the UK.
Hi, I've finally opened the Visual studio for MS Office systems tools box and found the access 2003 developer extension CD and loaded it, I've been reading the overviews on the CD as always it sounds easy to use, how ever through experience on APPs that is not always the case. Sure enough I was right again, Can any one help?
My problem is when I open the custom startup wizard or the custom package wizard it opens a form that is suppose to have templates to choose from so to get started, How ever there are no templates in the form the form is blank. Which leaves me stuck with no options to get started. All I installed on my PC is the access 2003 developer extensions, did I not install some thing I should of?
Hi, I wonder if it is necessary for the client machine in which a deployment (with runtime) is going to be installed, to have also installed any Access version or if the runtime deployment licence is enough.
This is a repeat of an old thread but all the Microsoft links have been broken because of Office 2007
We are trying to deploy an Access 2003 runtime solution for about 6 users and I would *like* to download a free version of the Access 2003 Runtime. Any idea where I might get it from?
Failing that we would buy it but I want to know exactly what to buy/what works/etc Upgrading to Office 2007 is not an option at the moment.
I'm considering re-writing my access97 database to access 2003 and turning it into a self-executing db for distribution to computers that don't have any versions of access installed.
I was told purchasing Microsoft visual studio tools for office 2003, which has access 2003 developer extensions, could do this.
Does any body have any experience with trying to accomplish this? And if so, are there any tek-tips that you can recommend to make this maybe a little easier, I'm not sure what it will do to .mdb file?

Hi, I have created a database with Office developer 1.5 and I am having problems creating my runtime version. I have been told that the VBA included in this program wont do the job, that I must purchase a full version Visual Basic 6.0. Is this true? Thanks all
I have an Access application I need to package for redistribution. Following the instructions on MSDN, I purchased Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003 to acquire the Access Developer Extensions which include the Package Wizard.
After installing VSTO, I found that Access Developer Extensions are not included. Can anyone tell me where I can get a copy of Access Developer Extensions? Is the Package Wizard available for download anywhere? Perhaps someone with an MSDN subscription would be nice enough to make this available to me?
Are any instructions availalbe for creating an installation file for an Access MDE file and including the Access Runtime?
As some of you probably noticed there is a bug in de access 2007 developer extensions. When you package your solution and for the root install folder you select (all users) you get a warning when you startup your packaged solution. When you select current user you dont get a message.
Does anybody know if this problem is solved by microsoft?
A few days ago I had a Vista-crash. I reinstalled Vista (Ultimate) and Microsoft Office 2007 Professional. Before this crash, I installed Access 2007 Developer Extensions and it worked perfect. But since I reinstalled Office 2007, the Developer Extensions option doesn't appear anymore in the Office button. I tryed with the Access Options - Add-ins - Manage COM Add-ins - GO - Add - Program Files - Microsoft Office - Office12 - ADDINS - AccessDE.DLL - OK. This was not successfull: Any suggestions? Thanks Luc Ringoir Belgium (Europe) balloonplanning@skynet.be
I hope I am in the right forum area. I have just upgraded to XP Home and have a choice of Office systems to install. However I have Office 97 Developer Edition that I use for Access Databases and this must be installed. I can also install either Office 2000 or Office XP Professional. What are the problems with having any of these combinations and Access 97 with the developer.
I have heard that there may be licencing issues or I may have to install in a particular order. Any advice would be appreciated.
I have developed an Access mdb file with lots of tables, forms, queries, reports, and VBA code. I want to be able to distribute this to Access-less users. I understand that the Access Developer Extensions enable this to be done and that the two wizards assist.
My first question is this: Are the Access Developer Extensions and the two wizards included in Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition?
I ask because this is what was recommended by a Microsoft representative and is what I’ve purchased. This came along with something called MSDN Library, but I’m not sure what that allows me so it is possible that this library will contain the elements that I’m searching for, but so far I’ve not found it.
Are the Access Developer Extensions only provided as part of the Visual Studio for Microsoft Office Tool package, as I’ve seen referenced in several forums and articles, including yours, or are these in fact part of other tools, such as the Professional Edition of Visual Studio that I’ve purchased?
I was wondering if there's an easier way to getting the "developer's extensions" so I can deploy my program as a PROGRAM rather than an .mdb file. I don't really feel like shelling out $600 for a "subscription" to MSDN. Or maybe there's an easier way to deploy the program than using developer's extensions? I'm using 2003. Thanks!
We just switched to Access 2003 (from 2000) last week, and now none of my reports will open. Everything else works fine, I can open tables, queries, forms, etc., but I can't even open a report in Design mode.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it an Access 2003 quirk or am I doing something wrong? Any ideas on how to fix this would be great. Since all of the other objects work I guess I could just redo the reports--there are only thre of them. I seem to remember something funny happening when I moved from Access 97 to 2000 too...
I have installed Microsoft Access 2003 and Microsoft Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I can create Access application by using the Package Wizard. But after I upgrade from Microsoft Access 2003 to Microsoft Access 2007. I can't use the Package Wizard.
Our Access database is multiple user. The front end is on the local drive and the data file is on our main server. Our database has numerous queries, forms and reports accessed by command buttons or directly. Various queries are set to merge with Word documents.
What are major or annoying problems that have been encountered by converting. Our database is contains our membership information and is crucial to our operation. Detailing problems/solutions if possible would be extremely helpful. Asking for allot but very concerned about conversion. Thanks for any input.
I would like to convert a database, which was made for me, in order to enable it to be used on my current system.
I get the error message below when trying to open the database in Microsoft Access 2003.
The database was made using Microsoft Access 2.0.
Will I need Microsoft Access 2.0 to update/delete the database all the time?
Or can I convert this to be used with Microsoft Access 2003?
I have tried opening the file exclusively and I get the same error.
I have selected Show Help and it advises me to import all the objects from the database into a new database. This can`t be achieved as I can`t open the file to retrieve the contents.

I had a Label in the form that when i started design the Form, I supposed that will be permanent. After few records, users needed to change the Text on that Label depending the customer they reffer to. Therefore i attached a Microsoft Word Document OLE Unbound Object to give permission to users to change the text when they need it. But if u change the text in one record then will change to all of the other records. Can u give any idea how i will manage to have a default label for all the records and users when they need to change the Text only for a particular record. Is this possible? Or I need to declare it as a Field on a Table therefore can be saved in every record? Please any idea... Thank you
I need help with Microsoft Access 2003. I am receiving messages when I am saving in windows or closing in windows. the message is, "Microsoft Jet data base engine stopped the process because you and another user are attempting to change the same data at the same time.
