Problem accessing database during deployment

Apr 12 2005 3:03 PM
I'm a new .net programmer and have just built my first application in vb.net. Now it is completed and i want to deploy it on the client machine. the database is to be kept at a central server and the software is installed on each machine. To access the database which is MS Access i've used application.startuppath & the database name.So i've used config file wherein i'll enclose my path..but when i run the setup of my application on the client machine, it asks for Microsoft Data Access (MDAC) 2.6 or more..which again doesn't support OLEDB and Jet engine..and I'm using Microsoft Jet engine 4.0... then what should i do..please suggest me a solution Also my other problem is crystal reports,i've added the required merge modules in the setup nd deployment project that i built to deploy my application. The crystal reports exist as bundled version in vs.net and i've them as embedded resource but in the reports that i've generated, i've added database so that may be the problem as the location of database changes from my machine to clients machine,should i use something like local or server name...please help me,its urgent.... aashi
