Clint, what are the obvious caveats for developers using the runtime. Should it ever be installed on machines running earlier versions of Office? etc Is this explained in the release

Het heeft even geduurd, maar Clint heeft op zijn blog de Access Runtime aangekondigd: I'm happy to announce...

Thanks so much.... been waiting on this for a long time and just by chance thought I'd look in this morning to see if there's any progress...

It's a brilliant solution and provides the means for Access to expand it's use in the business world!

Thanks for all the comments. It is great to see everyone so excited about using it. I have wondered why the demand was so much stronger than years before... Possible reasons include

1. It's free and we all like free stuff.

2. Trusted locations remove the digital signing need.

3. Features in 2007 that make developing a db easier.

4.. There was someone to ask about it--I don't know where you would have asked in the past...

5. Some of you are just looking for opportunities to poke at me :-).

Localize builds will come but it will take a few months... There is a fair amount of work and testing that needs to happen.

Only one thing missing (besides localization): some kind of manual... on-line help...

wrmosca — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 21:25:38 GMT

Poking at you might be pushed up the list a bit. :O)

Thanks for the news, Clint. I'm especially excited about the developer's extensions. VSS is a great thing to have during development. And I'm dying to try out the template-making feature.

Thanks. I have been able to stretch my deadline till this friday, and I've been stretching it for few months now, and finally it's here... : )

You've made me and many of my customers very happy.

Thanks one more time....

re: The runtime download is available for FREE!

Martin G — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 22:11:09 GMT

It is great to see so many happy people here, but what can I do as a german customer? We have pushed our deadlines like everybody and really counted on the June deadline and now we have to wait another few months? I simply couldn't belive it...

re: The runtime download is available for FREE!

Chris D. — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 22:33:46 GMT

It's free????? You mean...I can take my Access 2007 apps and turn them into royalty free runtimes that I can distribute without paying Microsoft more money?????

Huh????

It's free?????

In a quick test, I tried to open a report in layout view via code (DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, acViewLayout) and the screen was just white.

It looks like we may not be able to work with forms and reports in layout view in the runtime?

Has anyone seen a list of what is and is not available in the runtime version?

Mark H. — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 22:37:51 GMT

Many thanks for the runtime, and I'm *very* glad to see that Microsoft continues to support Access development -- it is truly a unique and powerful platform. It's also excellent that I don't have to shell-out an "extra" $800 to get it! : )

Is there a reason the Runtime download page can't be found? Message is:

"The download you requested is unavailable. If you continue to see this message when trying to access this download, go to the "Search for a Download" area on the Download Center home page. "

When I follow the link to Microsoft Office Access Runtime 2007 I get

Another few months... :'(

Vladimir Cvajniga — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 00:46:04 GMT

To Chris D.:

Access Runtime was always free.

ODE, ADT, etc. was not free. But now, ADE is free! That's big difference.

Hmmm, isn't that just because it's coming too late after final Office 2007 release? ;-)

Anyway, thx for any free software. If only MS Office 2007 was cheaper... In Czech Republic it costs >12 900 CZK (>600 USD). :-(

Where did the download go?

re: The runtime download is available for FREE!

kjm87 — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 01:40:14 GMT

The download page for the runtime was there yesterday. It is unavailable now. Too popular??

Separate question:

Part of the developer Extensions is Source Code Control. Is there any way to automate the commands on the Source Control tab?

Get Latest Version of everything would be most useful because if would allow automation of a build & package process.

Thanks

Keith

re: The runtime download is available for FREE!

Use the first link at the top of this page. The download is still there. However, it's not all roses...

This install wizard is much less powerful than the previous edition. And the documentation is not the least bit helpful, as you will soon see.

I would rather pay a few hundred dollars and get a product that works, and has all the required features, bells and whistles.

I hope some 3rd party steps in to do it right.
