 This software is distributed with the Microsoft Access Runtime
 Engine.  The runtime engine is NOT a fully functional version
 of Microsoft Access.  It allows you to run the FDL Inventory
 program only.  

 The full retail version of Microsoft Access v2.0 allows you to
 perform custom functions within the FDL Inventory database
 such as creating your own 'Ad Hoc' reports through the Ad Hoc
 reporting feature within FDL Inventory.

 It is recommended that if you have the full version of
 Microsoft Access v2.0, that you run the FDL Inventory database
 with it instead of the runtime engine version provided.
