    Questions on Deplying appl with 2 new folders

    I'm about to ready to deploy my appl for user testing. I'd like to make it close to the final production. At present, my Access MDB file is sitting in the "c:\DevEnv\MyAppl\bin\Debug" folder.

    I'd like to create a folder named "Database" under "c:\DevEnv\Appl" such that I can place my Access MDB file under the Database folder.

    I'd also like to create a folder named "Documentation" also "c:\DevEnv\Appl" to store all necesssary documentations.

    Can some one please tell me in the VB appl env, where can I make the changes such that
    1 - it knows where my Acces mdb file (in the new location)

    2 - When I "Publish myappl", VB knows that I have 2 new folders and include them as part of the deployment files ?

    Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Look into using inno setup for deployment, I have found it to be much more effective in creating installers and it would be easy to create these new folders.
