If you're an Access developer and you use Access runtime here is a tip for you.
Access Runtime is Great but it's not the full version of Access At AccessExperts.net we reduce the cost of using Access to our clients by using the Access runtime so that the company does not have to purchase office for every computer using our programs. But one of the problems with using runtime is that it's hard to troubleshoot runtime problems on the computer.
Change the extension You can simulate the runtime behavior on a computer that has Access by renaming the extension of the Access file from accdb to accdr. So for example, if your database is called Tracker.accdb, just rename it to Tracker.accdr to emulate the runtime behavior.
