2549.0. "Shipping VB & Access Report App." by XSTACY::PATTISON (A rolling stone gets the worm) Fri May 02 1997 13:11

   This is a kit-building question. (Cross-posted in MSACCESS)

   I have a VB4 application that uses Access Reports. This means that
   in addition to the VB Run-time libraries, I have to ship the Access
   run-time libraries. (Not all users will have Access).

   What is the best way to do this? I'd rather not have to supply 2 kits
   (one made with the VB Setup wizard and another with the Access 
   development Kit)

   I'm assuming the VB Setup kit will only add the Jet engine, which
   won't be enough to run the Access reports.

   If I can simply add more files to my VB kit, which files do I need
   to ship? Note: Using Access95 (V7).

When you run the VB Application Setup Wizard, does it list the Access
files?

	Surely you could use the VB Wizard to create most of your
	kit, and then the penultimate step allows you to add other files 
	into the kit and set their attributes (where they go and the
	like). I would have thought that you could just add the extra 
	files you need.

Re: -2

The VB Setup wizard doesnt check to see that my Access Database has 
reports in it. It allows me to choose any extra data access drivers,
thats all.

Yes. This is what I'd assumed all along, the only thing I don't know is, 
which extra files do I need? All I really want is that list.
