Access 2007 runtime
My OS is windows 7 and I have Office 2007 and Access 2007. I have just downloaded the Access 2007 runtime app from Microsoft.
I am trying to create a small db with my usernames and passwords that I could carry with my laptop without having to have a license version of either Office or Access 2007.
I have already created a small db in Access 2007, now how do I make it as a runtime version.
Thank u.

Hi.
There's no such beast as a "runtime verison of a db".
It's simply your existing application, executing in a runtime installation of Access.
It's that simple.
If you want to create an MDE/ACCDE then that's different. And isn't at all required for your application to run on a PC which only has the runtime version of Access installed.
All you need to be prepared for is that there is no Database Window/Navigation Pain and so you have to give your application the means to navigate around it without the list of database objects from which to select.
(But that's a given in any application worth releasing. If this is for your own personal use then you might not have gone to such lengths as yet.)
Cheers.

Or, since you're using Access 2007, by temporarily renaming the application file with an ACCDR extension (instead of ACCDB or MDB).
