This will probably sound stupid, but I need to know. I recently purchased me the VB 6 software and is pretty new the the enviroment. What I need to know - If i created a project in VB can you run the program of a different PC which doesnt have VB installed but only MSAccess, if so how?
You would have to distribute all the runtime files, plus all additional controls or DLLs you used in your project. VB6 comes with Package and Deployment Wizard which can create a setup for your program.

Yes you can......
There is a package and deployment wizard that comes with VB and it will wrap up everything that your project needs to run successfully and you can then install it on a PC without VB.
(At least that's the Microsoft story the reality is sometimes different)
You will find the feature under 'Add-Ins' ----> 'AddIn Manager'
Good luck
if you have Visual Studio then you can run the package wizard directly from your start bar
programs - visual studio 6.0 - visual studio 6.0 tools
Thanks for Your help?Quote:
