Access runtime - Installshield

I have made an Access runtime installation with Installshield Express 5. It
works good, but I can't figure out how to implement the runtime swich in
the shortcut.

Any ideas??

Surely you don't need that with the runtime version of Access?

You would if you wanted to insure the app ran in the Runtime environment
even on PCs that might have a licensed version of Access installed. Not a
big deal, but it does automatically suppress the db window and default
menus without having to design all of that into the file while developing
it.

That won't stop the creative type from looking up the location of the
shortcut target and double-clicking it...

I am wanting to be able to write reports against an ms-access database that is part of another package. I only want to report from the database. What I need is a package that will allow me to create the reports and then be able to distribute a run-time version. The client may not have Office so the package must run standalone. It could get to the Access database through an ODBC driver. Does anyone know what packages available?

I'd like to just package the program database and the bare minimum files needed for it to run properly. Any help would be greatly...

I am looking at buying Installshield 11 Professional and Sagekey Access 2002 Runtime Object to facilitate the distribution of my Access 2002 application (having despaired with the PDW). One of the key reasons for using SageKey (as I understand it) is to ensure that no conflicts occur with other versions of Access. In fact their website mentions Access 97 through 2002 in this regard. However, no mention is made regarding Access 2003. The...

I have an Access 97 app and the ADT and am considering selling it to the public. Is this viable? What issues might I have? I also have Access 2000 and could use that if it would be better. I don't have the "ADT" for 2000. Is it called ODE or ODT? Can you still buy that? Would there be any advantage in moving up to and distributing using
