[nishantp]

I am using the package and deployment (ya ya shut up) wizard un VB6. It says that my program requires the Mdac_typ.exe. What is this exe?? It adds over 8MB to my program!!. I dont want it unless i need it. Thanks.

data access components :)

The only thing this program does is File i/o,and processing. It has only basic controls, Command buttons, option buttons, text boxes, frames and labels. Nothing fancy. Do i need it?

No. Make sure all unnecessary components are unchecked (right-click the toolbox, select Components, and uncheck everything you can).

BTW, why post here instead of General VB? :confused:

only if you're accessing a database
