I have been going around in circles trying to understand the method of
creating a database in VB.Net 2003 and distributing that application and
database.
It seems if I use the Server Explorer to create the pledbConnection etc, the
link to the database works ok on the local machine but when the application
is distributed, the program points to the original path (which of course is
different to the target system). Is there any way to maintain the releative
path to the database when you distribute the application.
Secondly, the tutorials I have point heavily to using a SQL server instead
of oledB . I found MSDE 2000 and downloaded it but cannot install it. The
dialog indicates it needs a strong SA password and I am not sure what this
is and how to apply it.
Also, if I eventually managed to install MSDE, can it be installed with the
application or does the user needs to install this separately ?
Thanks in advance.

Of course it can be automated by those I call them wrapper like Install
Shield and so. But just install your MSDE saprarate will have no harm. Learn
isql at command prompt sometime could be useful for you. Good luck.

Ask in the ADO.NET newsgroup for a wider database oriented audience and
their responses.
For MSDE, search Google for "msde sapwd setup". Don't install it with a
blank password. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

Recently changed from using Access to MySQL.
Looked at the online docs but could not find anything about the process of
distributing a database to customers.
Can anyone give me a general idea of what is required. I sort of did a test
by simply moving the database files to a different directory but was unable
to connect after that through my VB front end.
Also If anyone could point me in direction of links that show how to do...

I've done some research on the net and think I have an answer, but I'm
just looking for some other opinions.
I would like to create an access database file to distribute to others.
I would use an excel (which the other users would have) front-end to
manipulate the database via vba. I'm assuming that since I'm only
distributing the database file and not any part of the access program,
there shouldn't be any type of legal issue.

I have an application written in VB.Net that opens an Access database
(ie a Microsoft Jet 4 database mdb file). It does not use Access forms

functionality contained in the .Net Framework?
2) Jet 4 was distributed with Access 2000 and subsequent versions. Was

I have created an application that reads and writes data to a access

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
