Installing my program that uses an Access databse on comupter with no access... help!

[Trojan]

What do I need to put on a computer with no access or office installed, to make my program to work?

my program reads and write to an access database...

thanks in advanced.

Your users won't need access installed as one of my apps uses access as the database and a lot of them don't have access installed but can still use my app.

Well... That's is where is think you are wrong!

VB is refernced in my project to:

Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.6 Liberary

My program can't run on other computer that doesn't have this component installed....

So what Do I need to install in order to make My app work on a compter that has no access installed?

what files do I need to install on the other computer?

Without knowing what controls your program uses, this is impossible to answer. However, if you bundle your application in an installation package, then the installer should be able to tell what files are needed, and package them for you.

What if I don't want to use Package & Deployment Wizard?

Any idea on how to get the list of files needed to be installed?

Download what you need, and run it. It will walk you through the process of creating an installation package. Did you look at these FAQs

Trojan,

Start with ********** , this will scan your VBP file and get all the files that you need and create a script for Inno Setup.

If you don't want to use an installer, you would need to install at least MDAC_Typ.exe version 2.6 for your ADO reference, and because MDAC doesn't include the Jet driver anymore (since version 2.6), you would have to install this one seperately. You can download it from Microsoft.

And if the vb runtimes haven't been installed yet, you would need MSVBVM60.dll as well.

Depending on other references you used, there might be more files needed.

My Program Works great now without any access installed on the other computer.
