2007 Runtime and Linked Table Manager
I have asked this question before, with no response. I have a 2003 db that
has a custom menu created in 2003. When I create a runtime version with 2007 and install it on a PC without Access 2007 installed, all works fine, with the exception of one of my menu items: Linked Table Manager, under Tools. When the user clicks on the word Tools, the db crashes. This only happens with the runtime version, so I am guessing that it cannot find the Linked Table Manager. Anyone have any idea how I can add this wizard to a runtime version? Damon

I can guess that the Wizards (like the Linked Table Manager) are not approved by Microsoft for distribution with runtime (this I remember from old Access versions). You have to create your own auto-linking VBA code - there should be a sample in Access 2003 Northwind. Also on Access Web MVP website(?) Or you can pre-link the .mdb and distribute the .mdb - you don't need to link each .mdb separately on every single machine. HTH Ananda
