Including an Access file with project deployment

[plocks]

Hello,

I have an Access mdb file that I use with my program. I want this file to be installed onto the users computer when they run my setup file. How can I do this so that each user is given a separate Access file during installation?

Also, once this file is installed onto their computer, how do I know what directory it was installed to?

I appreciate any help with this.

Hi, Plocks,

This can be accomplished by building an MSI Installer.

There's a ton of MSDN articles, but this one is pretty short and sweet....

When you do it this way the database should end up located in the folder tree in the Program Files directory.
