Hi Lou,
As far as I know, and from my observations after a couple of deployments,
runtime automatically adds the installation location selected by the package
wizard as a trusted location.
Insofar as testing, I'm assuming you still have your office 2007
installation disk/files; simply uninstall Access 2007 for deployment testing.
You may reinstall it when you are finished. The process will add a little
time to your testing process, but is well worth the time investment to
determine whether you are achieving the desired results.
Hope that helps,
Tim

You can also use Microsoft's free Virtual PC to build a test environment
without Access installed. If you use an Undo disk, you can keep that virtual
machine in it's original state, without Access installed.

Thanks Pul,
But I though you had to buy an extra Windows license to actually use the
virtual PC?
Also what is an UNDO disk?
Sorry for the delay in response - illness
Thanks Allyson

I have an MSDN subscription which gives me enough licenses for testing. I
think certain Vista versions allow you to build virtual machines with the
same license, but I'm not sure of that. It's not ideal, but you could set up
an unlicensed machine and use it for some period of time (about 30 days I
think?) before it starts disabling itself.
An undo disk is a way to setup a virtual machine so changes to the machine's
data or configuration can be discarded. That way you can test installing
your software as many times as you want without having to create a new
virtual machine.

Tim,
Thanks very much for this you are hitting on something here. In my case it
will not add teh location as a trusted location bit is this because I am
currently only using a self certicicate. On the same pC etc - so that should
be a problem - but omeone says I need a route certificate from verisign for
exaple before runtime will install teh database adn add a trusted location.
Do you know anything about this?

Thanks Bob,
I'll look into that though I 'm worried about editing the registry.
