Distributing the Access run-time - which version of VSTO?

Most of my projects are developed in Access 2003. I have not even installed
Office 2007 yet!

I need to buy VSTO to get the run-time licence for Access 2003. No doubt I
will soon need a run-time licence for Access 2007. Is there a version of
VSTO that has the Access run-time licence for both version of Access? Or
will I need to buy VSTO 2003 now and then VSTO 2007 at a later date?

Thanks,

Paul

Hi, Paul.
Is there a version of VSTO that has the Access run-time licence for both
version of Access?
Historically, each of the developers' versions of Office have contained the
unlimited licence to distribute the Access Runtime version for only that
version of Office. I doubt VSTO for Office 2007 will be any different.
It's scheduled to come out in March. For more information, please see the
following Web page:

Or will I need to buy VSTO 2003 now and then VSTO 2007 at a later date?
The current version of VSTO is 2005. Please see the following Web page for
more information:

Thanks, very helpful.

You're welcome, Paul. The Access Developer Extensions for Access 2003
allowed one to package the Access 2003 Runtime with an Access 2000 or 2002
database. I suspect the Access Developer Extensions (or whatever the new
name will be) for Access 2007 will allow packaging of earlier versions,
also, but there's no guarantee that will be the case. Therefore, you may
want to ask Clint Covington in his blog whether or not the new VSTO 2007
will be capable of packaging earlier Access version databases (or if it's
even recommended), or you may want to wait for VSTO 2007 to come out and see
for yourself.

Hi, We're are about to develop an app in C# that will use a MS Access database file for data storage. The db structure will not be modified. The user will use the C# developed app to view and edit the data (as well as add/delete records etc.). In order to distribute or app (including .mdb file) to PC's without MS Access installed do we need anything (I'm thinking specically about the MS Access Runtime)?

I've done some research on the net and think I have an answer, but I'm just looking for some other opinions. I would like to create an access database file to distribute to others. I would use an excel (which the other users would have) front-end to manipulate the database via vba. I'm assuming that since I'm only distributing the database file and not any part of the access program, there shouldn't be any type of legal issue. Any...

How can setup a variable in the table for printed and update it from word when I do a merge? I thought about macros in word but at my work they have macros turned off on all systems.
