Packaging Wizard Problems

I have created a database that I need to deploy to users without Access
installed on their computers. I bought Microsoft Office Developer's
Edition so that I could package the database and use Access Run-Time to
take care of this problem.

When I use the Packaging Wizard to create a setup package, this
packaged database doesn't work right. The database itself is linked to
an excel spreadsheet which I have listed as a Dependency file. However
the excel spreadsheet contains hyperlinks to other documents which are
used in the database as well. Do I include these files as dependecy
files too? The package becomes rather large when I try to do this and
causes my computer to freeze up. Maybe there is something else that I
am overlooking.

The use of this database is to follow the hyperlinks found in the
worksheet (that is linked to the database) based on selections that the
user makes. The database works fine before packaging, but afterwards
the database will no longer follow the hyperlinks specified in the
spreadsheet. I would appreciate any ideas on why this isn't working.

Thanks!
