Access 2002 mde in 2003 runtime environment

Hi,

Here is my situation. Can anyone provide insight?

I have developed a database in Access 2002. I am planning to distribute it
as a split MDE (front) / MDB (back) to be used by the Access runtime and
also full-version. Some of the client workstations will have Access 2002
installed. Most of them will have the runtime installed.

However, I can't find the Office 2002 Developer Edition anywhere! Nobody has
it in stock. So, I am considering using Visual Studio Tools for Office 2003.
But, I have the following concerns:

- I do not have Office 2003. Do I need it in order to use the tools for
packaging and distributing the runtime?
- How do these tools operate? As add-ins to Access, or completely
stand-alone?
- Is everything compatible? Can I use the 2003 runtime with 2002 mde or mdb?
From what I understand, there are no file-format issues with moving from
2002 to 2003.

Has anyone gone through this? Or perhaps know of a Canadian supplier still
carrying Office 2002 Developer Edition?

Thanks,
Colin

This is not a question, but I need a bit of advice. I need to create a software solution for users in various countries. Normally I would use Access 2000 and simply deliver the databases for use. Unfortunately some of the users will not have Access installed on their machines, and will not purchase it simply to use this software. In the (bad) old days of using Access97, I would have simply sent the databases together with the runtime...

I have a client who is using Access 2002/2000 (the database itself is written in 2000), and is considering migrating to Access 2003. Any recommendations on whether Access 2003 is worth the migrate, or should he stick with 2002? Thanks! Neil

Does anyone know of any potential problems running a 2000 database with 2003? Also, what about installing all other Office products as 2003 versions but leaving Access as 2002 running a 2000 database? Why you ask! A client has a 2000 database. Currently using 2000 runtime for most employees to work with database. A couple use 2003 to use database, no problems. They have a mix of versions of other products such as Word, Excel - 97,...

Hi Hi We are currently upgrading from access 97 to office 2003 on site. We would like to upgrade our access databases to Access 2003 but we wish to remove Microsoft access software from our end users so that we can control the creation of databases. Is there a way that our end users can still use these upgraded access databases without having access 2003 installed on their machines. The mdes will reside on a server so they can be...

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...

We are running an Access 2000 MDB with a SQL 7 back end. Our network guy is upgrading to Windows Server 2003 and wants to upgrade Office and SQL Server at the same time. We're moving to SQL Server 2005, and, since he already has licenses for Office Pro 2002, he wants to upgrade to that. I've been saying that we need to upgrade to Access 2003, not 2002, even if Office is kept at 2002. We are also looking to do a fair amount of...
