Developer Tools

[Ray]

I have downloaded the trial version of the VB Studio. According to the info
it is an ISO image file. Neither my Roxio or Nero seems to be able to
extract it. How can I extract this file to DVD-R?

Thanks

You might try looking on the internet for a program called ExtractNow. Your
question may be better answered in a newsgroup appropriate to your problem.
This newsgroup is dedicated to the Microsoft Access database product. The
Microsoft website is not all that clear and may have misdirected you.

Sorry .. it is an Access database I am developing and wanted to try the
developer tools.

Sorry .. it is an Access database I am developing
and wanted to try the developer tools.

You can use an Access database (.ACCDB) from Access 2007 _with_ programming
done with the Visual Studio tools; you can also use a Jet database (.MDB)
from 2007 or earlier versions. But, if you are developing for individual
users or small-to-modest workgroups on a LAN, you'll find it easier and
faster to develop the applications using Access itself. That is, you can't
develop an "Access (which is, after all, through version 2003, the UI and
development tool, not the database engine) application" using Visual Studio
tools.

Access DAPs had limitations that led to them being not-very-well-accepted,
and you cannot create or maintain them with Access 2007 (though existing
ones will still run), so some Visual Studio tools may be appropriate for
developing a web front-end to either of those types of database. BUT that
doesn't imply that you will find answers to questions about Visual Studio
disk formats in an Access newsgroup.

And, for the record, it is much more likely to find DotNet applications
(created with Visual Studio tools) using SQL Server 2005 Express than either
..ACCDB or .MDB.

I have downloaded the trial version of the VB Studio.

The version you need is Visual Studio Tools for Office. Which is not
at all the same as, presumably, Visual Studio. Also there is no
trial version to download.

You can test it yourself by creating a shortcut with the full path to
your msaccess.exe, path and name of your database and the argument
/runtime in the target field. Such as the following.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 2003\OFFICE11\MSACCESS.EXE" "Q:\1
access\clients\Park Deroche\TimeSheets\Timesheets.mdb" /runtime

Yes, but your question is about extracting from an iso image. Again,
ExtractNow, will solve your problem.
