Answer 1

When you use the Deployment wizard, one of the screens will ask you to ADD files not discovered automatically. This is where you browse to your MS-Access database and ship it.



Another file many people should include and doesn't get discovered are reports created in something like Crystal Reports.



However, think carefully about your decision to add the database in the deployment. Every time it is ran it will copy the original (and probably empty) database! Are you SURE that is what you want? Especially on future releases!



Anyway, look for the Add other files in the wizard.

Answer 2

If you have already created the package without your database in it. Do not worry.

Copy the database seperately and transfer it on the other computer.

Make sure about the path.

e.g If you have given app.path in your program and installed the package in C: drive at the other computer.Then make sure that you copy your database at C: drive only.



Let me know whether this works.(It worked for me)
