Vista access database problem - VB.Net 2005

[treyball3]

I've created an application in VS 2005 that houses data in an access database. I've also created a setup project to deploy the software. I'm having issues when trying to install on a Vista machine. I'm saving my database to the C:\ProgramData folder like I read somewhere. The first time that I installed this program it worked fine. But I had some code fixes to make and then rebuilt the project. Now when I run the exec on the Vista computer, I get the "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query..." error. It creates the .ldb file, so I know it's finding the mdb fine. And when I open the mdb, the table I'm looking for is there, and the database doesn't seem corrupt. I can run it just fine on my XP computer. I've done a lot of googling, with no success. Does anyone have experience deploying projects onto a Vista computer?? please help!



Thanks - Todd

It could be to do with the way Vista protects itself against malicious software. On the Vista machine you may need to mark the C:\ProgramData folder as Trusted via the Trust Center.
