plz tell me what's up? otherwise provide me a link to download a database --named bids.mdb

Regarding this thread. I am encountering the same problem.

error message in log after setup program runs with error:
[Fail] : Failure installing database 'bid' : Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I checked the errata for this title ("Beginning ASP.NET Databases Using VB.NET") and found no reference to this problem, an inability to create the bids database used in Chapter 12.

Could Wrox or one of the title's authors provide some assistance?
