Sagekey first offered the Access 2000 runtime solution back in September 1999. Since then it has been well received by the Access community as the best solution for reliably installing the Access 2000 runtime.

As of February 2009 we will no longer be selling the products for Access 2000. The reasons are threefold:

1. Stability - Microsoft stopped support for Access 2000 in 2004. Since then Sagekey has endeavored to provide compatibilty with the newer versions of Access and with newer operating systems. This has become increasingly difficult with time.
2. Reliability - As Microsoft's own technology has moved on, situations faced by our customers and in turn their customers have become more varied which means the reliability of the runtime itself has become questionable. For example, Sagekey repackaged the 2000 runtime into 2 files - an MSI and a CAB file to combat specific install issues.
3. Solution - Sagekey is committed to being solution based and we believe that using the Access 2000 runtime is no longer a stable solution.

Our current support model for this product will continue for the next 214 days.

Access remains at the forefront of database technology and while we feel the 2000 runtime is no longer the best solution, we have thousands of customers using 2002, 2003 and 2007 runtimes with excellent results. We recommend upgrading your application(s) to one of these newer Access versions.

If you are interested in having Sagekey's assistance in converting your Access 2000 application to a later version of Access, please  contact us.
