The Developer edition for A2003 is called
Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003
Details at:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/und...ng/vsto/defaul
t.aspx

I am not using that product because of its requirements.
To talk to those
who are, try the newsgroup:
microsoft.public.access.developers.toolkitode

I did run into problems with compiling an MDE under
A2003, and then creating
a runtime installation with the A2002 developer edition.
It created the
package, and completed the installation, but the
application would not run.
The error message indicated that the VBA was corrupt,
which A2002's way of
saying that it could not run the code complied under
A2003.

Well them I am confused (maybe)
Access 2003 will only install on 2000, XP.
So, does that mean that the developer edition for 2003
will only create installations for 2000 and XP?
I want to protect my time invested in the program I
wrote
and don't want to take a chance of using Access 2003
if I
can't install the runtime on Win98 machines.

Thanks for your reply

Access 2003 uses either the Access 2000 file format
(default) or the Access
2002 file format. Either way, it should run without a
problem on Office XP.

Can an application developed in Access 2003 be down
sized
to 2000 so that it can be installed on Windows 98?
Office XP can be installed and ran on Windows 98,
but
it
looks like Access 2003 can't. (Why am I surprised)
