Package And Deployment In Visual Basic?
I have an visual basic(6) project with and a tabase file (mirosoft access).i packaged(with package and deployment wizard) this project and install it on the other computer but program does not find database.
please help to create a setup file that work with mydatabae properly.(step by step)
thanks.
I used to have this problem with help files.

Load the wizard
specify the project
Click on the next button until the form caption says "Package and deployment wizard - Included Files" on this part click the button saying add, then change the file of type box to "all files (*.*)" then select youre database.

Flick through pressing the next button until The caption of the form says "bla bla bla - Install locations" here you specify the place you want youre database to be place, rember some computers dont have their primary drive as C or dont save in the program files folder so to specify that you want the database to be in a folder with the exe you have to use the $(AppPath) variable. then complete the wizard as you see fit. In future i recomend that you make applications which dont rely on databases for their correct functioning, you should learn how to do VisualBasic IO.
