    Run time vs Full Version

    I have created a database , split the database , and now I have multiple user ready to key into a form to update the table on the back end.



    Sent in a request for multiple liscenses and it was denied. They told me to create the database so that they could use the database in Run Time.

    Is there something that I have to do in order to allow the users to do the same work through Run Time?

    You should have good error handling, since unhandled errors in the run-time version will cause the program to terminate. Of course, I'd recommend having good error handling anyway, so that's not necessarily something different.

    I don't think you can open objects in design mode with the run-time version, so if you have code that does that, it might be a problem.

    Ok I am a novice user so please explain. What is "good error handling"?

    By objects do you mean forms for users to key into?

    Sorry if im not much help.

    Here's a primer on error handling:

    By objects I mean forms and reports, yes. I'm specifically referring to opening them in design view though. Simply opening them for the user is not a problem. I suspect it's unusual to open one in design view from code, but it can be done, so I wanted to mention it.

    Thank you for the link on error handling.

    My issue is with Run Time. When someone with Run Time tried to open my database nothing happens. Is there a certain way that I have to do something within the database so that users with Run Time can use it. People with the full version can access it fine.

    I just tried a few different users and now they are able to access it through run time. I think it was just one individuals laptop that had some issues. Thank you for your quick response and assistance ..
