Hopefully this isn't old news to most of you!

Great for anyone that needs to deploy an Access database to multiple
users and doesn't want to buy full licenses!

It is great that the runtime is FINALLY out as we have over 1,500 users of a
custom software program that uses the Runtime -- however, after proceeding
though the installation routine I have yet to figure out where it was
actually installed on my PC. Perhaps what is causing this confustion is the
fact that I also have the full version of Access 2007 installed. Can anyone
help me out here?

Look through the Office button: a new option should appear there for you to
use it.

Thank You for replying so quickly; however, I have looked at every menu I can
find and still do not see a reference to it.

Perhaps you know what location it would be in?

Did you click on the Office button (the circle to the left of the menus)?

In previous versions, the Runtime was basically the full version with certain features disabled. I don't know
specifically about the 2007 version, but if you install the Runtime on a machine with the Retail/Full version, then (at
least AFAIK), the install will not proceed since there's no reason to install the Runtime on a machine with the full
version.
