However, Microsoft has provided a complete installation routine that you can re-distribute to your users. This installation routine will install a special runtime version of Microsoft Access that will allow your users to view and edit your database, but not to create a database of their own.</p><p>In order to distribute the Microsoft Access runtime install you must be a licensed "Office Developer". This means that you have purchased a copy of Microsoft Office Developer Edition. You will find a copy of the Access runtime installation executable on your Office Developer CD-ROM, or on your hard drive in the "\ODETools\V9\Runtime" folder. Include this file on your CD-ROM and then launch it during your installation using an <b>Execute File</b> action.</p><h3>MORE INFORMATION</h3><p>For more information please visit the following sources:</p><li><A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/office/" target="blank">Microsoft Office Homepage</a></li><li><A HREF="http://www.microsoft.com/office/developer/suite/" target="blank">Office XP Developer Homepage</a></li><li><A HREF="http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q240/9/59.ASP" target="blank">MOD2000: Access 2000 Run-Time Minimum Now Available for Download</a></li><p>KEYWORDS: Setup Factory 6.0, Runtime Module, Microsoft Access</p><hr><FONT SIZE=1>Last reviewed: October 11, 2002<br>Copyright © 2002 <A HREF="http://www.indigorose.com" target="blank">Indigo Rose Corporation</a>.
