Access Runtime - Am I Missing Something?

No, it allows you to tell it where to put the application. The destination
for the office runtime is in Office97 | Install Root. If there is no value
in the registry for Office97 | Install Root, then the office runtime goes
to "a subfolder of your database's folder". If there is a value for
Office97 | Install Root, (for example c:\program files\MicrosoftOffice),
then the office runtime goes there. That is particularly a problem when
Office 2000 has been installed on top of Office 97, and an old value
of Office97 | Install Root points to the Office 2000 folder.
