When you done with your project create a distribution package using any available utility like Package & Deployment Wizard that comes with VB6.
For more information visit our Application Deployment forum.

Not sure what link you're looking for...
Just go to Start>Programs>VB6 (or whatever it's called) find Package & Deployment Wizard and run it - it simple to use so just follow on screen instructions.
When you done send the Setup (there will be exe, lst and folder with all support files) to your clients.

No, that is not sufficient. You can not just copy a .exe file from one machine to another if the target machine does not have VB installed.

You must create a formal installation and setup package, and pass the resulting Setup.exe file to the target machine.

Using The Package And Deployment Wizard

That is what RB and Hack said.

Yes all things necessary for the application to run will be added to the install package (things you reference). If you have an MDB file (MS Access database) that is used you will need to add that to the files (references) list manually.

In that case it would be nice if you change thread's status from Thread Tools menu.

Thanks.
