MS Access Forum / Setup / Configuration / August 2007Access 2007 Trial and Access 2007 Runtime Conflict
I have MS-Office 2007 Small Business Edition under Vista installed on my laptop. It included Access 2007 trial. I do not need the trial or the full version of Access 2007 on this machine. I have the full Access 2007 on my desktop and do all maintenence there. I want and need to have only Access 2007 runtime running on the laptop. I have downloaded Access 2007 Runtime and installed it. However, I cannot tell where it is downloaded or what the .exe file name is. I have found the Access 2007.exe and have tried to change the name so it will start, but MS-Office keeps creating a new Access.exe. How do I get rid of the trial, and be able to use the runtime version? >I have MS-Office 2007 Small Business Edition under Vista installed on my >laptop. It included Access 2007 trial.

There should be an option where you can choose what you want installed. >I have downloaded Access 2007 Runtime and installed it. On the desktop machine, right? Where you already have a full version of Access 2007 or Office 2007 Professional or whatever it's called? You will need the full version of A2007 to create a runtime install of your app. Tony  SignatureTony Toews, Microsoft Access MVP Please respond only in the newsgroups so that others can read the entire thread of messages.

I want the Access 2007 trial off the laptop. It is already expired, but it won't go away. I have gone to add/remove. I do not see anyway to remove one of the components od Office 2007 SBE including the Access 2007 trial. I downloaded Access 2007 Runtime to the LAPTOP not the Desktop. If I go to Add/Remove The runtime version is there to delete, but I don't know where it is on the laptop or what the name of the Runtime exe is to call it. Calling Access.exe brings up the trial. > >I have MS-Office 2007 Small Business Edition under Vista installed on my > >laptop. It included Access 2007 trial.

By your wording " It included Access 2007 trial." I assumed you meant it was MS Office SBE. So it was the laptop then? >I want the Access 2007 trial off >the laptop.

Then I have no idea as I've never used the trial version. As far as I know it will be somewhere in Add/Remove. >I downloaded Access 2007 Runtime to the LAPTOP not the Desktop.

Right. But the Access 2007 Runtime requires that you have Access 2007 already on your system. It's not a stand alone product but requires A2007 to execute it.

Access Runtime IS a standalone product. The reason for Runtime is so you don't have to have the full version of MS Access on the computer to run access applications. You just can't get to the database objects. (tables, queries, forms, reports) for design modifications. I have been using Access and Runtime for years on different platforms. I just want to know how to disable the Access 2007 Trial included in MS Office 2007 SBE so I can use Runtime for applications that do not need backend manipulation. >> By your wording " It included Access 2007 trial."

I may very well be wrong. >I have been using Access and Runtime for years on different platforms.

Someone else is going to have to help you out there then. Tony SignatureTony Toews, Microsoft Access MVP Please respond only in the newsgroups so that others can read the entire thread of messages. Microsoft Access Links, Hints, Tips & Accounting Systems at http://www.granite.ab.ca/accsmstr.htm Tony's Microsoft Access Blog - http://msmvps.com/blogs/access/ Hi Phil, I not not have Access 2007. But I believe Tony's right about this one. >Go into Add/Remove Software and select the Office 2007 Small Business >Edition. There should be an option where you can choose what you >want installed. Is it possible the you have miss something the the window of the Office setup or the Control Panel's Add or Remove Program? Here's how to remove the features for Office 2000. In the old version Access 2000, go to Control Panel – Add or Remove Program – select the MS Office 2000 – Click Change. When office setup starts, click the Add or Remove Features button, in the setup you’ll see a list of install application, click on the box with a icon like “Harddisk”, select the “ X Not Available “ then click the “Update Now” button. It may not be the same of for Office 2007, but I hope it can help you to understand the steps and procedure of removing Office features. >Phil in FL wrote: >Tony Wrote: >> By your wording " It included Access 2007 trial."

You just can't get to the database objects. (tables, > queries, forms, reports) for design modifications. You don't just install the runtime (especially not from the download) and expect it to allow you to open MDB files. The runtime product is intended to be used in conjunction with the "developer" edition of Access to create a package that can be installed by users who don't already have Access installed. You cannot simply download the runtime and expect to be able to open any MDB file you want (although once you've installed a properly packaged application and have the runtime on your computer, you then can open other MDB files) SignatureDoug Steele, Microsoft Access MVP http://I.Am/DougSteele (no private e-mails, please) |
