I've a VB app which accesses an Access database. I want to package a version in which the database can be installed on a shared file server. How can I prompt the user for a data location during the install? Will something like 'Wise' do this for me?

One of the things that I have done in the past is to have a setting to tell me if the program has been run before. If it has not I would then prompt the user for specific information. You could do this and then copy your database to the location specified by the user (if it does not already exists) and save that setting for future run use.

Just a thought

Good Luck
