Hi all Pros,
Why still got error after I make a program to become a .exe file?

The error as below:
Run-time error '-2147467259(80004005)':
Could not find file 'C:\Program Files\Project 1\data.mdb'.

I use Microsoft visual basic 6.0 to do it.Please teach me...

Thank you.

Did that file exist???

Ivan,

You should select topics that relate to the actual problem you want help iwth. “Urgent :VB” (syntax ntwithstanding) is not really a problem, it is a domain.

After I install the .exe file the database not in the program file.
Why it will happen???I do not know please tell me,because I never face it before.

Thank you.

no database is inside the exe you compile.. you have to make an installation program that send the database as well as any other related file...

I using the "App.Path" to link up ones.So is that will occur the problems???

Thank you.

can you define install?? what are you installing?? are you using a third party setup program, using the P&D or something else??? or just copying the files?

Actually the error is not same, but come the end become same.So I post the error I face on both topic sometime.Sorry about that.
I used the package & deployment wizard of the visual studio 6.0 to build my program to become a .exe file.But I still meet the error which is "53" the file not found after I install the .exe file into my computer.Or you got another software which is freeware ,can let me solve the problem and make my visual basic program to become a .exe file,please let me know...

Waiting for your advice.Thank you.
