Re: DEPLOYMENT FOR USE ON MAC

Douglas,

Why the attitude?....I don't think what you wrote is entirely accurate but
thanks for the reply. I will look into what you've stated and have asked my
client about the "Windows Emulation Software"?

Access for Macs.

Did you perhaps package your application with the free Access 2007 runtime,
and you're thinking that it's now standalone? All you've done is include a
special version of msaccess.exe with your application: you haven't changed
your application in any way, shape or form. The special version of
msaccess.exe is actually the same version that you used to develop the
application in the first place, but its ability to make design changes to
the application has been removed by literally hundreds of registry entries.
The point is, though, that you still have to install msaccess.exe, and you
can only do that in Windows.

To run your application on a Mac, you'd have to ensure that Windows
emulation software is running on the Mac.

I'm getting ready to deploy one of my apps for the first time. My client
has
a MAC and has MSOffice. I'm deploying the app (created on Access 2007) as
a
standalone, not requiring Access 2007, but are there special adjustments
that
have to be made to the install file or any file for use on a MAC?
