How To Implement sql server database on the client's computer?

Hello,
I finished my vb.net application, the application uses sql server and run pretty well on my pc. Now I want to install this application on the customer's computer, and the issue I'm not sure about is, what do I need to install on the client's computer concerning the database?
Do I install SQL Server and restore the database there? how to secure the database and make sure nobody will be able to edit the data from Enterprise Manager. What if someone uninstalled SQL Server?

Please I need help in this issue since I'm a beginner.

Thanks.

You will need to install SQL Server on your customer's server (or just his/her computer if they're the only person that will be using it). As for security, you'll need to set up database users and set their permissions accordingly. Obviously you'll need to change your app to reflect the change of database location.

If I set users permissions then nobody will be able to open the database? because I've tried this before, but anyone can access the database through Enterprise Manager without username and password? And what about if someone uninstalled sql server?
I'll be thanksfull if you provide me some links where I can read articles about this issue because I couldn't find any related articles.

Thanks

On second thoughts you don't even need to set user permissions if you install SQL Server 2000 desktop edition (which is free!) this doesn't come with enterprise manager anyway. Download from:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

Obviously if someone uninstalled SQL Server then you wouldn't have a database and your app wouldn't work, and the person who uninstalled it would be a complete muppet!

Wow, Thanks alot that helped me out so much.
Just one more question, How can I transfer the database from my computer to the other, do I create a backup and restore it there? and where do I place my databases.
