What you do is make a shortcut to the application. In fact, you should as a
general rule supply a shortcut..since then you can set things like the
security file. (you are setting up,and supplying a security file with your
runtime system..right? Even if you are NOT using security..you should
distribute a workgroup file..and use that for startup options...just to
reduce support calls and hassles from your users).
So, you right click on the database..and select short cut...
You then open up that short cut..and replace the shortcut text with your
own.
For example, here is what a typical short cut looks like:
"C:\Program Files\Office97\Office\msaccess.exe"
"c:\program files\Rides\Rides.mdb"
/wrkgrp "c:\Program Files\Rides\Rides.mdw"
/User "RidesAdmin" /pwd "mypassword"
So, to the above you would add the runtime switch like:
/runtime
The above of course goes on one line ...each line has a space...so..in fact
you get:
"C:\Program Files\Office97\Office\msaccess.exe" "c:\program
files\Rides\Rides.mdb" /wrkgrp "c:\Program Files\Rides\Rides.mdw" /User
"RidesAdmin" /pwd "mypassword" /runtime
As mentioned..if you had setup custom menus..then users should not notice
the difference between running your application with the full version..your
runtime version...
I of course have in the windows explorer set the "address bar" to show the
full path name. So, I can usually just browse to wherever I have to..and
then use cut and paste in place of tying to type such a huge ugly thing as
above..(I don't type the above..I cut and past it in).
