How to make the part of the code run only once?

Hi!
For eg, I want to maintain a database at the client side itself. For this reason, I want to create the database during installation itself. Where should I add the database creation code. Please help.

Thanx for any help..

In the form load event of the form that is first loaded you could call a function that tested to see if the database existed. if the database doesn't exist then you could create it. Else the database is already there so just load up normally.

If you have a piece of code you want to run only one time through you can try a For - next loop
I don't know the exact code but, in vb help look under loops. Increment your counter to 1. So for ex For I = 1 to 1 Step 1
