Many developers distribute their applications to end users who own and have installed Microsoft Access. These users might be responsible for designing their own ad hoc queries and reports. It is important that you, the developer, properly secure your application for these users, provide them your application with only the functionality you want included, and present your application with professional polish.
Many of the topics in this chapter apply to your application, whether you are distributing the application to users with the Access runtime version or with the full copy of Access. You probably should include a switchboard, custom menu bars, and custom toolbars in your application regardless of whether, for example, you are distributing your application with the runtime version or for use under the full version of Access.
