That may truely muddy the waters. My clients are schools with older
computer labs. Some are still using Windows 98. There is no way I can take
the system and install it on the computers in the different schools. I
presently am in about 25 schools, and that may grow the 100 in the next year
or two. I mail out new versions yearly for them to install. In addition,
the software is used in over 100 student homes with most computers now having
Windows XP or Vista.

If this is not reliable, I may be best to avoid the solution.

Let me know a little bit more about the problem of libraries if you would -
- and anyone else can join in if need be.


You may(?) be relatively safe if the only libraries you use
are the standard VBA, Access and DAO libraries, which should
be installed as part of the runtime Access. Things might get
tricky if a user installs their own version of Access in the
same directory as your runtime or vice versa, they also use
A2007 (not likely on machines older than Win XP), or if you
use other libraries that can be superseded by other user
installed software. There are some Access SPs and SRs that
can also require a Decompile/Compile.

This issue is not related to your solution. In fact, I
believe, using the runtime helps minimize the problem. I am
certain that others have more experience distributing an
application as widely as you are trying to do, so it would
be nice if they would help clarify things.
