    <p>I've created my first Office Add-in using Visual Studio. It targets the 4.0 .Net framework and was created using the new VS 2012. I need to distribute/install this project on various 32-bit XP and 64-bit Windows 7 computers around the office. So I configured the project to be installed on XP (which was my first speed bump because I didn't realize VS 2012 needed an update in order to make a solution that was XP compatible). Now that I have a valid win32 application, I am getting another error:</p> <p>The following error occurred attempting to install 'C:\filepath...\Import Contacts.vsto': "No application is associated with the specified file for this operation."</p> <p>After doing some digging, I think I need to install the Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime on the client computer. To do this, I would like to use the prerequisites properties for the project. So I read up on creating custom prerequisites using some noteworthy sites (e.g, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165429.aspx" rel="nofollow">Creating Bootstrapper Packages</a>, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/h4k032e1.aspx" rel="nofollow">Application Deployment Prerequisites</a>, <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms165429%28v=vs.80%29.aspx" rel="nofollow">Adding Custom Prerequisites</a>, and <a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vsto/archive/2012/12/21/creating-a-bootstrapper-package-for-an-office-2013-vsto-add-in-with-visual-studio-2012.aspx" rel="nofollow">Creating a Bootstrapper package for Office 2013 in Visual Studio 2012</a>). <strong>I created the files according to that last URL</strong> (even though I'm not sure it pertains to the package I need just yet), <strong>but it is not appearing in the dialog box under Project > Properties > Publish > Prerequisites</strong></p> <p>If you read the article, it says the VS prerequisites dialog box should automatically update once I restart VS 2012, which I did but to no avail. I know I'll need to use this feature again in the future, so I would really like to know what I'm doing wrong and fix this. Please help! And I promise to quickly give the ACCEPT to whoever helps me fix this problem! Thank you in advance.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
