Emulate Access Runtime

I will be providing a database to a customer who does NOT have Access.
They will be using the Access Runtime facility.

I have Access 2010 and will email a accde file to the customer.

I want to be 100% sure that my customer can run the software properly.
Therefore I would like to run the system as IF I DID NOT have Access on my machine at all.

How can I achieve this "test environment"?

<<Not sure (so I will yield to the above two Experts)
...Will running a DB "As" a runtime simulate the runtime environment 100%?
or are there some things that it can't simulate precisely...?>>

Precisely.

The run time is the same executeable as the full version, just running in run-time mode. It's exactly like you specifying /Runtime on the command line, except that you don't get the choice<g>

boag2000, you brought up a valid point. I see it as relevant to for OP's statement of "I want to be 100% sure that my customer can run the software properly."
