How to check if running in full version or runtime

Hello,

Is it possible to find out if the current code if executing in the full
version of Access or if it is using a runtime? We have a number of
roaming users running a mixture of versions, but using the same
program. I need to implement features such as spell-checks, but don't
want to confuse the runtime users with options they cannot use. Is
there some sort of check that can determine this?

Thanks

Hello, I'd like to transform my app created with VJ# in a real stand-alone app, that I could easily distribute on the net, even if users' PC don't have a .NET framework. So I'm looking for a software which can link an entire .NET project to produce a stand-alone executable, which is independant of .NET framework, because it contains an internal reduced .NET platform. Here is a software doing that : http://www.remotesoft.com/linker/

We have a citrix server that users will be signing into from a remote location. One application is an Access database. Right now, lan users are using the Access 2003 runtime to run these applications. Installing the runtime on the citrix server(s) isn't a big deal. The catch is, I want to install a copy of the full version of Access so that I can sign in and do some developing if I have to. Is it possible to have both the runtime...

Hi all, My client was using Office 97 where I've created a few databases in Access 97 for him. He downloaded a trail version of a database which included the Access 2000 runtime. When he installed this database it overwrote the Access 97 exe and now I can't do any more development on his machine because every database has been converted to Access 2000 and the runtime prevents me going into the design. I can copy the databases onto my...

I have a number of applications that need to access the same object at different times and any one of these programs may be running at any one time. I do not have a specific application that could act as the server. So I want to give each application the capability of being the server and the first one to start gets the job. Unfortunately to do this I need some way of detecting whether a server is already running. I was hoping that...

I have an application that I distribute as a 97 or 2000 mde. If the client has A2000/2/3, he uses the 2000 version. If he has 97, he uses the 97 version. If he has neither, he uses the 97 runtime. Occasionally a client has Office 2000+ SBE which doesn't include Access. In this case they install the A97 runtime version of my app which works fine. Only problem is, the spell checker doesn't work, despite having Word 2000+ installed. I use...

This is probably a stupid question but I'll ask anyway. Can the Access runtime and the full version coexist on the same machine? The reason I ask is that I want to create a 2003 runtime and want to be able to test the process. Since the runtime modifies the registry entries I want to make sure. I've had my experience of installing 97 after 2000 and I don't need to experience version problems from MS.

I have an application developed in Access 2000, to be distributed as an MDE. For those folks without Access, they install the free Access 2007 runtime. For the most part, this seems to be working well. However, when viewing a report in Preview mode, if you right-click and select the "Export" option (I have defined a custom menu which includes the standard "export" option), when using the runtime you immediately get an error, which says,...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
