MS Access Forum / New Users / April 2005Compatible to all OS & Access
I want to know if I have created/developed an access application in Access 2000 and 2003 what kind of runtime program that suitable for the pc that running on win 98 to view my application. Actually i want distribute the application to school and most of the school running on Win 98 OS. I want to know what i should do in order to make sure the application can be viewed successfully by the user of previous version of windows and access program. Really appreciate your guide. > I want to know if I have created/developed an access application in Access > 2000 and 2003 what kind of runtime program that suitable for the pc that [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > Really appreciate your guide. Access 2000 (full or run-time only) will run under Windows 98. Access 2003 will not. You would need to first save the application in an earlier format (thereby losing any Access 2003 features that you may have used). You will need to purchase the Access 2000 developer tools in order to distribute the Access 2000 run-time. I don't imagine that you can get this off-the-shelf anymore, eBay is indicated! Or, you could contact Microsoft to see if they can do some kind of downgrade deal. If I were targetting Windows 98 systems, then, in the expectation that the hardware is contemporary with the OS (i.e. old and slow) I would use Access 97, which is an immensely capable version that, in essence, has not changed much in the later versions. The above comments re Access 2000 apply equally to Access 97. To add to that you may have to ensure that the version of MDAC that was used on development sys is also installed on the host sys. > > I want to know if I have created/developed an access application in Access > > 2000 and 2003 what kind of runtime program that suitable for the pc that [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] > much in the later versions.
