I have MS Access 2002 version, I create one mdb file and then put it on the sharing drive, I install Access RunTime on my client machines, they can run the mdb file on the sharing drive.
Another way,
I used Office XP Developer Edtion to create package and then install the package on my client machines, they can run the mdb file.
Here is a question,
Why do we need Office XP Developer Edition to create the package? Because we just install Access Runtime on the client machines, then they can run the mdb files.

Ok, I have Acc2k3 professional with Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System which according to MS includes the Microsoft Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions (http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/office/officetools.aspx) that are required to package an MDE/ADE file using Acc2k3.
The question is how do I run it? I cannot find anything to do with packaging or deploying an Access file anywhere, not only in Access but ot the system and on the Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office System cd.
I should point out that my PC has VB.NET 2003, Office 2003 (prof) and Office 2000 (prof - Access only) installed on XP SP2 (I believe that all relevant SPs and critical updates have been applied). I have tried upgrading my project from Acc2k to Acc2k3 and all to no avail.
I hope someone can help on here with this. I am having problems using the package wizard. I can run through the first couple of steps on the package wizard, but when it asks for a language to cache, it fails to install the necessary files.
I have found the resolution on the MS KB site about copying the files to the HDD, and the renaming the exe file to SETUP.EXE, but whenever I select this file to cache, I get the following message:-
'C:SourceSETUP.EXE' could not be copied to 'C:Documents and SettingsusernameApplication DataMicrosoftAccessADE11Cache1033SETUP.EXE'.
Verify that the source file exists, that you have write permissions on the destination folder. etc
I don't think it is permissions, as it does copy the msi and cab file to that particular folder, it's just the SETUP.EXE file that it doesn't copy over.
Has anyone ever experienced this before when using the Package Wizard?
Hi, can someone please tell me how would it be possible to package my database!!!? I need to do it for my coursework. I thought may be the package and deployment wizard would be a good idea, but it isnt listed in my add-ins manager. Btw I am using VBA (Access and VB together).
I have developed access application (front/backend) for my client. As client wanted they would be running on 3 comps on LAN. 1 comp would have the DB and the other 2 the frontends. How will I create installation (CD/package) so that it can be distributed in the clients site. Any suggestion would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
I have Access 2003 and the Developer Extensions which allow me to package solutions and distribute them with the toll-free run-time set. When I run my applications on the development PC with the "/runtime" switch the applications work fine but when they are installed on a PC without Access 2003 they install but refuse to default values into forms when new records are created. Since any "child" records need to contain the key of the relevant "parent" record for the database to have any relational structure at all this makes the applications useless. I've searched Microsoft sites until I'm blue in the face and I've asked my support company but I'm not getting any answers. Anybody got any ideas?
I have just started to use the Access 2003 Package Wizard and I am having big problems, my problem is that any Access App deployed at work is installed under C:MIS, but in there wizdom!!! MS have decided not to allow you to have anything but what they think you should have as the default install location.
I have even gone into the source code and found where the default locations are, but the problem is that you have to add the entry to both a table and an XML file, the table is easy, but trying to find where and what I need to add to the xml, so far has turned out to be impossible.
Can anyone help, or is the best solution going to be to use a third party installer.
I have hyperlinks from within Access forms that link to Adobe PDF documents; these are the new PDF Package documents created with Acrobat 8 - and give the message "Multiple files are bound together in this PDF Package."
The problem I am having is that when ever I click on the hyperlink the computer hangs (from the task manager, I believe that it is Acrobat Reader that is hanging). This problem only occurs with multi-file PDF packages and does not occur with regular PDF's. It also only occur with MS Access, as linking to theses files from MS Word encounters no problems.
the language cache for the package wizard is currently stored at "C:Documents and Settings<user>Application DataMicrosoftAccessADE11Cache1033". this is, therefore, in my roaming profile, which is a very bad thing since it's 35MB. is there any way to put it somewhere else? many thanks, e.
I have just about finished up a Split DB that I plan on deploying in a LAN environment. The goal of course is to turn what looks like an Access Application now into a non-access looking application where the Front End can be distributed and run on any computer within the LAN.
I have several questions that I may need some help on.
How does one go about hiding the Access Shell and/or Ribbon/Nav in 2007?
How would I add a form that allows for a user to navigate to and connect to the back-end without having them check all of the appropiate tables and then browse to the back-end file if they have a different drive letter mapped to the location of the back-end files for example?
Any tips on how to sign the DB so the pesky Trust Center question can be bypassed?
Any other tips on how to simply distribute this for a LAN environment and/or make it look NOT like an Access DB with access to view the Forms, Tables, Queries, etc. This is my first Access DB project, let alone a LAN distributable one.
I have an accdb built using Access 2013 that will run with in 2010 Runtime. I am about ready to distribute the application, and am starting to do some research.
When I attempt to package and sign the db using the feature in Access 2013 it asks for me to "Confirm Certificate".
Before I go buy one I want to 1) try to create on myself and 2) learn about some good places to buy them.
1) I created a "Self-Signed" certificate using IIS, but the certificate doesn't show up on the list of certs when I attempt to package and sign the accdb. Is there a way to use a "Self-Signed" certificate to package my accdb?
2) If purchasing a SSL is the only option. Where is the best place to buy a SSL that I can use to package and sign accdbs from Access 2013?
I've created an accounts package for my business using access 2003 and I'm just thinking of some time saving features.
We need to email our invoices to our clients.
Normally we print out an invoice, scan it back into the computer, save as a PDF and attach to an email manually one by one.
My package can now print to PDF (saving one step), but what I would like is to be able to print to PDF and attach to a new email (with the email address coming from the customer table) and possibly attach more than one PDF to a single email.
I know you can use
Code: DoCmd.SendObject acReport, stDocName
to send a report but I would like it as a PDF as my formatiing is lost using that code and we normally send PDFs to our clients.
I have a form for inserting invoices, and on the subform records I have a command button to print the labels, the label would contain the quantity of the product, so, if the quantity is ex. 11000 and package contains 2000 only.
so I have to print 5 labels with quantity 2000 and one label with 1000 qty
what I need to do, is when I click the label cmd button to insert the 6 records required to print the labels to temp table
I have one Project in Ms access 2000. If I create Setup(Package) it's working fine in Access2000 but for Access 2003 I need to install Ms Access 2000 Runtime. Kindly tell me how to install Access 2000 Package in Access 2003 without installing Access 2000 Runtime. Can it support backword compatibility ?
The company have MS Access 2003, Office XP Professional with Front Page, and Office XP Developer. But, we don't have license on Office XP Professional with front page, others have license. I installed MS Access 2003, and Office Xp Developer on my company machine, when I use Office XP Developer to create the package/access runtime for my clients, it must refer to Office XP Professional with front page to create Access Runtime. But, I don't have license for Office XP with front page, whereas I have license for Office XP Developer. So, after I finished creating the package, Is the Access Runtime legal in rules distribute to my clients using?
I have access 2003 installed, which I use to make systems ( doh )
Anyway, I have just installed Access Runtime on the same machine so that I can test my databases on the runtime version to make sure that all works ok. However, I have installed several times now, but I can not find runtime anywhere to run it... Can you not use runtime if you have full blown access installed ? Or am i just having a blonde moment ???
I have an application developed in Access 2000. Can anybody help with my search for the access runtime licence so that I can distribute to many users (who may not have access)? I have been told I need Visual Tool Extensions for Office but cant get an evaluation to check it works with my app.
OR, does anybody know a source (cheap obviously) of MS Access 2000 - users who dont have access only need 2000 to run this app.
Hi all. I have problem with form for viewing pictures. If I use apllication using full MS Access I haven't any problem. I can see BMP, JPG, GIF ... But if I open appllication using runtime I cannot open JPG file. Runtime show error to transfer picture to GIF or BMP. Where is the problem?
Ive created a database using the file system object that creates folders, moves files from one folder to another, etc.
This works perfectly on my home pc, but when i try to install it on the server at work I get the following error message:-
Runtime Error 429
Active X component can't create object
I've had a look on the net and appears that it only happens on certain computers and I wondered if anyone had any quick fixes that they had come across over the years.
So I made a little db using A2k3 to use @ work. We have OpenOffice.org 2.0 @ work and not MS Office. Since I knew Access better than OO's db program, I used it and was going to just take it in and use it after it was finished. Well, I didn't realize that unlike OO's Word, PowerPoint and Excel versions, it's Access version does NOT open it's MS equivalent - Access db's. It'll link to them and use data, but all tables, forms, reports, etc have to be designed in the OO environment. Geez!! So I looked @ getting the Access Runtime. It's a bit expensive from what I read (about $200 if I read correctly). I have a couple questions. First, is it really that expensive? Second, is there another solution to this problem? Third, I read that the 2007 runtime may be free. Is that so? If so, will it work backwards - with a 2003 db? Thank you, thank you, thank you.
if I don't buy office Developer software, I just download Access Runtime 2002 from the Microsoft website, and then install it on the client machines. Do I commit the company rules? Do I need to buy unlimited license for Access Runtime before installing?
