Hi Folks

I'm having a real problem with an application I've built.

All works perfect when in design mode in VB6.

Also works when I package using the Package & Deployment WIzard.

However, the database (its an Access database) is referring to the SAME database (i.e. filepath!!) I am using for dev...

I include it with the package and this does work but it still refers to the absoloute reference I am using within VB6!!!

Any ideas on how I can get round this? OBviously wiht using the data control I need to specify the database at design time but how do I alter this so when its pacakged, it uses the database in the pacakge???

All help most gratefully appreciated - tearing my hair out here!!

Thanks

Col

hi there...

you have to pass the connection strings at runtime to the controls...
or you can try not to have full path but relatives (I don't remember is this works with controls)...

Cheers for that ... figured it out that I should have been updating the reference to the database in runtime!!! Pain but sorted now. Cheers again
