The developer's tools have a help file. A Newsgroup posting is hardly a
proper place to get an entire tutorial on how to create an installation
package. Read the help, try what you can and post specific questions when
you get stuck.

There is a help topic or white paper (should be included with the
developer's tools) that explains all of the things that are different about
the runtime environment. Most of them involve areas of the Access interface
that are NOT present in the runtime and which you have to create
substitutions or work-arounds for. There are no built in menus or toolbars
for example.
Yes, one of those differences is that it is impossible to get to the db
window in the runtime environment.
