I have been trying to package up a system consisting of a Visual Basic 6 application for the front end and a Sybase database for the back end. I have read all the documentation I could find on packaging up the Sybase database with a front end application and it specified that it could be accomplished by just packaging up the files needed to run the database, but not view it. However, when I install the package on a system, it doesn't connect the the database. Instead I have received one of two errors;
"Unable to connect to database server:Database server not found" or "Unable to find provider".

If anyone knows which are the appropriate files to include in the package please let me know.

Thanks 100watt
 
I don't know if I took more files than I needed, but I packaged all the DLL's in the win32 folder of the Sybase instalation. I was able to then install and run my system on a computer that did not have sybase client installed.

Sybase is installed on our network, so if you are trying to do a single computer install I don't know if this would work.
