1655.0. "Distributing Access with VB (run-time)" by XSTACY::PATTISON (A rolling stone gets the worm) Mon Apr 28 1997 07:40

This is a kit-building question.

I have a VB4 application that uses Access Reports. This means that
in addition to the VB Run-time libraries, I have to ship the Access
run-time libraries. (Not all users will have Access).

1) What is the best way to do this? I'd rather not have to supply 2 kits
   (one made with the VB Setup wizard and another with the ADT)

2) If I can simply add more files to my VB kit, which files do I need
   to ship?

3) Do I need to purchase the ADT anyway even if I don't use it (to have
   the license to distribute the application)?.

1655.1I think you do need ADTNSIC01::KLERKThunderbirds are GoTue Apr 29 1997 10:248

 I do think you need the ADT since you do use it (i.e. report functionality
 of MS Access). You're not simply using the MDB container file for storing
 tables or querying the data. You do use the layout facilities which require
 the Access runtime to do it.

Thats fine, but my application is essentially written in VB4.
Whats the best way to ship it as a single kit?
