Default Newbie deployment question

I know VB has its own Package and Deployment Wizard but can anyone tell me how to package and deploy an application which will have an Access database located on a server and the VB front-end located on the client(s). The P&D Wizard doesn't talk about this. I've also looked in many books and can't find any mention of how to do this.

Thanks.

You will need two packages, a client package and a server package. You pack into each package what you will need for that package. Just a side point but, why did you choose Access for a server side database? Access is not really a server database unless you are dealing with small applications.

Thanks Yehuda.

I chose Access because it's only a small application - used by 3 people on a local network to store general text data. Under these circumstances, SQL Server would have been overkill/added expense.

Cheers.
