Converting vbp to exe

[rlschiltz]

I have written a program to manipulate the data contained in an Access database. I want to know how to convert the vbp file to an exe and I want this exe to be a stand alone program that can be run on machines that do not have vb. Can I package the program together with the access database using the setup wizard? I realize that the end user will have to have Microsoft Access to run the application.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Lou

If you have your project loaded in VB then goto the file menu and select Make project1.exe (or whatever it will say instead of project1). Then you can use the package and deployment wizard to make a setup package that can be installed on a system.

To get the VBP into EXE just compile it (check the File menu). Yes, you can bundle the mdb with the setup package.
