I just don't know how to include my DATA folder. In addition to including it, I want it to stay in the same relative location in regards to the "app files" so my database queries are kept intact.

Hi,
I'm rusty on this but I think you just need to create a folder in the .NET project, place your DB files in it and mark the build action for all of them as content.

Two problems with this though:
1. A copy will be installed for each user so this won't work if the DBC needs to be shared.
2. You'll need to ensure that they don't get overwritten during updates. Currently can't remember how you do that and don't have access to the right machine at the moment to find out.

HTH,
Viv
