    Can Anybody Please tell Me where to find the installed Program

    Hi everyone, I am new to VB2008, and are perplexed as to why my installed program does not show up in the list of programs in the directory.

    When using VB6 I could use (Windows Explorer, Programs), and find my installed program. I need to get to the database as I have entered a lot of data into it via my not quite finished program.
    It will take a lot of time to re-enter the data if I can not retrieve it.
    Thanks C

    I am not sure I understand your question properly. The files that you added to your project during the development should be within the project folder. The project folder should be at "My documents\Visual Studio 2008\Projects\<project_name>\"

    The key to getting the right answer is asking the right question

    Thanks for your reply;
    It's not during the development stage, what I am asking is;

    Once a program is completed and then installed on the machine, in my case Vista, why can I not go to the program folder and see my apllication as I would have done with programs developed in VB6?

    I had installed my program on my machine and have added lots of data, but now need to get to the database to include it in the updated version.
    Hope this is a bit clearer.
