Thanx Sylvain!
Your answer pretty much helped me out on my question.
You know, not that I'm sure you care, my main issue is this:
Couple of years ago I developed an application in Access'97. I use it
towards a SQL 7.0 database which holds all the data. The application worked
as it should, and now I want to kind of "shrink-wrap" it without doing it
all over again in Visual Studio, just to get an executable file on the
client, instead of the client side .mdb file. I guess I want to publish a
runtime version of Access to my client, which I can create if I have a box
of VSTO 2003.
Anyway Sylvain, thanks again....
Mr.
Smith.
