You'd know you have the developer's tools by the few hundred dollar entry in
your checking account from when you purchased it. The tools are not free and
not inexpensive.

In addition, you have to put significantly more work into a typical app to make
it work properly with the runtime version of Access. Unless you have "at least
several" PCs that you want to put your app on it would be cheaper to just
purchase licensed versions of Access for them. At least if you factor your time
and trouble into the equation.

The exact name (and availability) of the developer's software you need varies
depending on the version of Access you are using. Which is it that you have?

You can't. The computer /must/ have Access on it, before it can run
your MDE file.
