Have you tried using the Package and Deployment Wizard to make the setup program?

I think that this is a problem where the ADO control can't find the database.

Do you include the database with the installation?

Howabout putting the database in the same directory as the application.

Then point the ADO control at app.path

I agree with Ivyl.

The best I found was to use the 'Package and deployment Wizard'.

It worked well for me for some time now. I tried some other one like install shield but it does not pickup all the dependencies etc.

And it is not the easiest to work.

Have fun.

In VB6 the Package and deployment Wizard don't work correctly. You need to download Service Pack 3 to make it work! The Service Pack is free (get it microsofts homepage) but it is over 50mb!

You will not see the error Package and deployment Wizard make before you run the setip program.

You are probably getting the error "ADO CAN NOT FIND THE SPECIFIED PROVIDER".
You are also probably connecting to a Access 97 DB.
You are also distributing version 2.1 of the MDAC (MS Data Access Components) and you need to distribute version 2.0 instead.

Yes, I can read minds.....on occasion :)
