Local Storage

[Alruk]

Im looking to create a client app that will use a web service to collect and store information locally.

I know that you can create "Access" databases within VB.net to hold the information. My question is, if the client doesnt have the programme "Access" installed on the local machine will it be able to use the mdb file as normal?

If not does anybody have any suggestions about local storage?

Any help or advice is appreciated.

Yes it can use the access database without access installed.

Answer is yes although there are various files that may need to be installed on the target machine such as mdac 2.8, jet etc for it to work.

Have you considered storing to a file rather than a database. Depends really how much data you have to store I guess.
