Hi
I am using VBA for my coursework and I really need to package the programme. I have heard of the Package and Deployment Wizard, which is supposed to be in the add-ins section in the VBA, but for some reason I cannot find it. Please help with this, is there any way to make it work, or maybe any alternative.
Thanx in advance
I am at the point were I want to package and distribute my application to other users. My application uses several .bmp files and other resources that I have stored in the OFFICE11 file because you have to reference the location of the objects in VBA Code where access can find it.
What I cant figure out is, how do I get the package wizard to install the resource files I include with my program to where I want them (OFFICE11) so if the user installs the database at a different location than the default location which is C:Program FilesApplicationNameI'mDistributing, the program will still run because the resource files can still be found by the program in the OFFICE11 file.
Make Sense?
A more advanced problem I am experiencing:
Is there a way to have a run time distributed application automatically find and repair it's link to the back end if the back end gets installed to a network instead of the default Local C: path?
Anyone?
Well,having a few problems. Can't find any post, maybe the problem is too new. I was experimenting with the "Developers Extensions" in my 2007
First, is it required to be an "accdb" format?
Second, I was trying to package a split DB... putting the backend in the "add" files. Seemed to crash everytime I tried to start it after installing. Is it not possible to package a split DB?
If it is... I would really like it to ask where to install the extra files.... eg...backend.
I don't know ho to approach this......... any help would be appreciated!
Thanks
When using the runtime version, there is an issue with trusted locations. The only way around this, it seems is to edit (add) the registry key,My research tells me the key to be added is:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0A ccessSecurityTrusted Locations]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftOffice14.0A ccessSecurityTrusted LocationsLocation(n)]
"Path"="C:PathToDB"
"AllowSubfolders"=dword:00000001(1)
"Description"="The description"
"Date"="01.01.2007 12:00"
If I use the Packing Wizard with Access 2007 to prepare an installation disk, there is the option for Additional Registry Keys, which looks promising, however, I am unsure how to proceed. You are asked: Root, Key, Name and Value. There are 4 options for Root: Default root, Current user, All users, Classes root.
I am using the Packaging Wizard of the MS Office Access 2003 Developer Extensions. I would like to change the Root Installation folder to a customer Folder. However, I am limited to the list given (Program Files, Documents & Settings, etc..). I even tried to see if I could change the INI files produced by the package, but could not find any reference to the root installation folder. Does anyone know how to change this, either through the wizard or manually.
I know I can have the user move the folder once the install is complete, but I do not with to do this.
