Hi all,

I have such a problem:
I would like to create an application in Visual Basic 2005 Express
Edition. This application will connect with data base created in MS
Access 2003.
This application will do some operations on tables in database: select,
insert, update, delete. And my question is:
What can I do to make this application independently work on other
computers?? Saying independently work I mean that there will be no
problem with accessing databes: differen versions of Ms Jet or
something.

i heard once about RUN SQL. - could it be any helpful???

I just would like to create application which without no fears can run
on other PC's.

Please help.

Regards,
sweet_dreams

If you use ADO.NET (ole) the other computer just needs to have the
framework installed.

Thx Chris for your reply, but I still have one question: is it possible
to run application which is connectiong with MS Access database if on
user's pc MS Access is not installed???

Not sure on that one. Wouldn't be hard to make a small app to test it
though. Is it a large dataset you are working with?

sweet_dreams,

The user's pc does not need to have Access installed for your program to
work with the Access mdb file.
