From: Lars Brownies on 4 May 2010 12:35 A customer has office 2003 installed including Access 2003. He never uses Access 2003. If I want to deploy my A2007 app on his machine would it be best to: - remove A2003, and - install A2007 runtime, to prevent the configuration screen from popping up? Another question: is it good practice to use the Package Solution Wizard of the Developers Extensions? Or would you advice another solution for that? Thanks, Lars
From: Jerry Whittle on 4 May 2010 14:07 If you removed A2003 and he uses it to modify databases, he won't be too happy with you putting in the A2007 run time. My vote would be to upgrade him to Office 2007 Professional. -- Jerry Whittle, Microsoft Access MVP Light. Strong. Cheap. Pick two. Keith Bontrager - Bicycle Builder.

From: Lars Brownies on 4 May 2010 14:26 Thanks. He only uses A2003 to run the 2003 version of my app so no immediate need for upgrade.

Once you double click on an Access2007 database and it opens in Access 2007 runtime the next time it will not show the configuration screen (unless something from Office 2003 was used). I think it's any program in Office 2003, it might just be Access 2003 (not 100% sure). If you need to have some portion of both versions of Office and don't want configuration screens I know of no other solution other than sage. Here's an article on how I did it: http://www.rptsoftware.com/help/microsoft_access_thirdparty/sagekey.asp Sage is a little pricey. You could download my donation software (which is a sage installation) if you just want to see it in action. I don't think you have any interest in donation software. The EXE does get a little big when you add in the Microsoft Runtime.
