To be honest - I'm not too sure what gets shipped with the MS Access Runtimes. I've got the full-blown version on my machine.

The best thing to check for on the client workstation would be at:

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Access.Application

If this key is there - then the Automation server should work !

If not - the olecreateobject() function will fail for sure !
