The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Access Runtime and Developer Extensions

Asked by MaxwellTurner in Microsoft Access Database

Tags: Office 2007

I am tryig to use Access 2007 Runtime and Developer Extensions to create a runtime (read only) database that can be installed onto a PC that DOES NOT have access 2007 installed on it.  That is how I understand this works anyway . . . if I am wrong please correct me.

WHAT I DID:
-----------------------------
I used Developer to Package a Solution and chose the third option "Require Nothing and Install Access 2007 Runtime" and pointed to where I have Runtime.exe located.  Went through the wizard with no problems and when finished I had:

- a setup.exe
- an autorun.inf
- and a folder called files which contains AccessRuntime.exe, a mydbasename.msi file (the installer file), and a setup folder containing setup.ini

MY PROBLEM
----------------------------
When I run the setup.exe file on a PC that DOES NOT have access 2007 installed on it, it seems to run fine - it installs Access Runtime and creates a dbase with a .accdr extension.  Once finished installing, I open the shortcut that was created and all I get is a blank access screen (a form is supposed to start when the dbase is opened).   The only thing I can see is the access icon top-left with only the option to EXIT.

It works fine if I run the setup.exe on a PC that DOES have Access 2007 installed on it.

So, is it possible to create a runtime (accdr extension) access 2007 dbase that will run on a PC that does not have a full Access 2007 installed?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
