System Requirements

• Access 2000 Runtime requires a minimum Pentium 133 processor with 128 MB of RAM running Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional or later. A CD-ROM drive and minimum of 170 MB of hard disk space is also required.
  
  

Features

• Access 2000 Runtime includes all of the core functionality needed for Access 2000 applications to run without requiring the full Microsoft Access product. Access Runtime also protects the the application developer's programming code from being viewed or changed by users.
  
  

Limitations

• The database, macro, module and design views are not supported in the runtime environment. Developers must hand code tool bars, error handling and custom help within their applications. The removal of these features is designed to protect the developer's code and prevent intentional or accidental changes by users.
  
  

Benefits

• The Access 2000 Runtime environment provides a cost-effective method for developers to distribute Access applications without requiring each end user to purchase and own a copy of Microsoft Access. The Access 2000 Runtime environment is included in Microsoft Office 2000 Developers Kit or can be downloaded free from the Internet.
