dlrider left a comment to my post about Access 2003 security:
I came across this page looking for this solution. Thanks. I know nothing about Runtime (and the MS site isn't clear to me) so I thought I'd ask the knowledgeable... If an application is put together as a runtime package, can a user with full Access open it as a normal .mdb and make changes?
The simple answer is yes. The user accessing the .mdb via the runtime can view your Access application as if they were using the full version of Access 2003. The limitation of the runtime, is that the user can not edit the forms, queries, database, etc...
