I'm considering re-writing my access97 database to access 2003
and turning it into a self-executing db for distribution to computers that don't have any versions of access installed.

I was told purchasing Microsoft visual studio tools for office 2003, which has access 2003 developer extensions, could do this.

Does any body have any experience with trying to accomplish this? And if so, are there any tek-tips that you can recommend to make this maybe a little easier for me?

Thanks --Any suggestion will be much appreciated.
