Publish MS Office Access with more than one runtime DLL , in the Application Installation & Compatibility forum on BrianMadden.com

Hi,

I need to publish MS Office Access, but the three databases use different runtime DLLs.

I would like to publish the application, so that when the user opens it, it opens directly into a particular database, and has the correct runtime associated with it i.e. 'DB1 Published App' opens up AccessDB1 with MS Office Access 97 runtime DLL, and 'DB2 Published App' opens up AccessDB2 with MS Office Access 2003 runtime DLL. etc.

I'm currently running Presentation Server for Windows 4.0.4

Any help appreciated!

Regards,

Scott.

Hello Scott,

I would put a copy of the apps in seperate folders with each of their associated runtimes. Then you might want to think about using a batch file to set the environmental path variable so that another copy of the runtime isnt found before yours. Publish the batch file and away you go.

Hope this helps,
