I was one of the few who was able to download the Access 2007 runtime
when it was available for a short time. I installed it but cannot
figure out how it runs an Access 2007 database. There is no obvious
exe that runs. When the actual runtime is released I'd like to be
able test my app under the runtime - not just the developement Access
2007 with the runtime switch. I just can't figure out how to run the
app with just the runtime. Thanks. David

The runtime switch is exactly what you will see under the "real" runtime.
The runtime is a FULL installation of Access. It just has registry entries
to prohibit design capabilities. In fact you cannot even really install the
runtime on the same PC that already has Access 2007 on it because the
installer will see that Access 2007 is present and won't install another
copy.
So...the "EXE that runs" is MSAccess.exe just as it is when you run the file
now.
