I am thinking of producing a runtime Access DB application with a MySQL back
end. Has anybody had any experience with this? If so, what are the
pitfalls?

Thanks
Mike

What are you thinking of doing? Plan on using Access as a front end,
like jsut forms and reports? If just forms it might be better to just
use VB and MySQL.

I've read a few postings by folks who have done so but I don't recall
any specific problems. You could try searching at groups.google.com
using the advanced search and restricting the newsgroups to *access*.

An alternative would be to use MSDE as it's free.
