MDB, MDE & RunTimeIn the RunTime environment:– No database, no macro and no module windows
are available– No Design views– No built in toolbars– Many windows are invisible though accessible by
code– Must have error trapping – otherwise application
displays a standard Access error and exits to desktop
– Must build your own custom help files– Some keystrokes not available
Emulate Runtime environment with:– MSACCESS "C:\Path\App.MDB" /runtime
