Run time thin client of MS Access sebastian stephenson 20.07.2006 14:01:01 I would like to deploy a version of MS Access that users cannot utilise as the full version, sort of a read only, thin client version of the soeftware. Does anyone know of this type of version of Access? I dont want to distribute a version that is locked in VBA - as people always manage to find a way to get around the locking code and play around with the back end of the database. Please help. -- Learning SQL and Access

Not read only and not thin client but the runtime version of Access does not allow users to make any changes to the objects, that is queries, forms, reports and modules.

The runtime is not something you can just download for free. In order to be licensed to distribute the runtime to your users you have to *purchase* the developer's tools for your version of Access. The runtime is free for *users*, but not for the developer. While there has been a place on Microsoft's web site where some versions of the runtime can be downloaded those pages do state that the download is only intended for people who hold proper licenses for the developers tools. Why would you want to use the runtime on a PC that already has Access installed anyway? -- Rick Brandt, Microsoft Access MVP Email (as appropriate) to... RBrandt at Hunter dot com

Re: Run time thin client of MS Access sebastian stephenson 24.07.2006 08:52:02 I work for a government agency that holds a MS Enterprise License - so we are licensed to use any MS product within our LAN. I would like deploy MS Access interfaces using the Runtime client so as to remove the ability for users to have the full client installed on their terminal and remove the ability to create their own databases. -- Learning SQL and Access "Rick Brandt" wrote: [Quoted Text] > sebastian stephenson wrote: > > I have downloaded a copy of MS Runtime client. > > > > Do I have to unistall versions of MS Access on my PC before the .mde > > files will be associated and opend in the Runtime Client? > > > > Please advise. > > The runtime is not something you can just download for free.
