Hello everybody,
I'm pretty new in vb programming so these are my important questions:
I developed a database-based application and now I have to create a setup/install package. I used ADO to access my database and the connection string uses a dsn name instead of a filename. So, my setup program should create a user dsn on the destination machine after the program has been installed and link that dsn to the database (created with access) in the application path. How can i do this? is there an easier way to export a database in the final package and make the program still work (it still finds the database path)?
Question 2: How can i hide, or crypt my database in the final distribution and make it not-accessible with programs like Access?
Thank you very much for your help. Your site is simply the best. Bye
