Access97 runtime
I have a client that wants to get a copy of the Access97 runtime. I tried
searching and can't seem to find it anywhere on the web (free or paid). I'm not sure if Access97 put the runtime in some sort of Office Developer product or not? I have trouble remembering what happened last week, so remembering details about 13 years ago is causing me some troubles. Perhaps a product that installs and uses the Access97 runtime might work if he can't get a hold of the runtime by itself. They do NOT want to install any other version of the runtime, due to configuration dialogs between versions etc.... Thanks in advance for any help, Mark |

Access97 runtime
Access 97 runtime is created froma Developer's Toolkit, although it can be
simulated by adding a /r switch to the startup shortcut. With some fancy manipulation, Access 97 can be setup no to reconfigure when started. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.accessmvp.com http://www.mvps.org/access Co-author: "Access 2010 Solutions", published by Wiley "Mark Andrews" wrote in message ...

Access97 runtime
Mark,
It was a separate package and if I remember correctly not that cheap. I am not sure you can get a copy unless you got one when it came out. (I'm pretty sure I got it on an old machine around somewhere but I still using.) I assume you tried places like Amazon.com? Do you have an MSDN license? Might be available there. -- Gina Whipp 2010 Microsoft MVP (Access) "I feel I have been denied critical, need to know, information!" - Tremors II http://www.regina-whipp.com/index_files/TipList.htm "Mark Andrews" wrote in message ...

Access97 runtime
I tried amazon. I just tried eBay. I have an old copy of Access97 (I had
to install it to make a tweak on his database). I'm trying to get on his good side so I can do the big conversion of his entire Access97 system to Access 2007 (it sounds like it's pretty big). However he asked me to search out a way to get the Access97 runtime said he couldn't find it anywhere so I tried a little and had the same luck. I think I'll just tell him to buy some copies of Access97 (full version) if he insists on being legal. They do have those on Amazon and eBay for $30 to $80.

Access97 runtime
I just sent him an email telling him to just buy a few copies of the
full version and then I saw your post. He runs a food bank in PA. Feel like making a generous donation to help the hungry? Well actually help the people organize the effort to help feed the hungry. If so throw it in an envelope and mail it to: http://www.rptsoftware.com/contactus/ If not no worries, I'm sure he will survive. Thanks, Mark "Tony Toews [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Access97 runtime
The A97 runtime may only be distributed by an licensed user
of the Office Developer product, and may only be distributed with an Access Application. Perhaps your users would be interested in evaluating a product like MAC NET Financial Accounting? http://www.mac-net.com/144296.page The user will need to download the appropriate support files from that web site, and ought to check everything with an AV program.
