Gunny,
I cant thank you enough for such information that you
provided. You asked me a question about multi-user.
Actually this is how the database will run, It has two modules, one for
Central location and one for the Branch locations(About 50 branches).
The idea is that the branches will collect their data and save it
locally. Then once a week either via internet or manually those files
will be moved to the Central location and the data will be imported in
Central location module. I hope this all make sense :)
Based on this information that I just wrote, does anything change?
Please let me know.
Once again thank you for all your help.
Regards.

You can't legally install the Access 97 Runtime on other computers unless
the owner of the computer or you (or your friend, the Access developer)
already own the Office 97 Developers Edition, which grants unlimited
licenses of the Access 97 Runtime version. If none of you already owns it,
then the bad news is that ODE 97 has been off of store shelves and out of
circulation for many years. It's very unlikely that you'll find someone who
can sell you a copy.
It's possible to purchase a newer Microsoft Office Developer's version that
allows you unlimited licenses for the Runtime version for that version of
Access. However, the latest one is for Microsoft Office 2003 (and it's now
called the Access Developer Extensions, part of VSTO 2005), which won't do
you any good, unless your client is willing to upgrade to a newer operating
system that supports .Net Framework 1.1 (requires Windows 2000 SP-3 or
Windows XP). The Microsoft Office XP Developers Edition is the most recent
version that will create a Runtime installation that will run on the Windows
98 computers.
If you don't get the Office developer's version for the unlimited Runtime
licenses, then the client is legally responsible for purchasing the retail
version of Access for each computer he owns that Access is installed on.
BTW, your friend developed the database for a multiuser environment, not a
single user database file that everyone will share on the networked server.
Correct?
HTH.

Hi All,
I am in need of desperate help. My friend made an Access
Database for a Client of mine in MS Access 2003 then he converted it to
Access 97 because the client machines are Windows 98 and they dont have
Access installed.
Along with this database in 97 we are going to Install Access 97
RUNTIME files - the client have around 50 machines.
Now my question is - before we install all this, DO we need any kind of
licenses from Microsoft? if so, what type of licenses? is it legal to
install Access 97 Runtime files on the client machines? I downloaded
these runtime files from the internet. Please advise, i'd highly
appreciate it.
Regards.
