Re: Access Runtime

Dependency on Access programs/databases doesn't mean you have to spend money on Office licenses. You can just get an MSDN license (or Access developer's kit - if it's available) and run your Access databases and forms on the freely distributable runtime. You only have to have 1 copy of Access for maintaining the application. The only restriction is that the users running the app under the Runtime can't open anything in Design mode, or open raw tables, but that is usually preferable if you Access application is well designed.
