Thanks Viv,

I went to 'Advanced Views/Components' and I was also able to add the file from there and now the component info is the same as the other ones "data", we'll see if it installs it too, which I would think so now.

Thanks! :)

I'm attaching a snapshot, hopefully it will show. I inherited this project and it had been years since I had worked with Installshield so I don't know how the previous person added the other files with "data".

>I've not used that particular version of IS but, in general terms. a windows installation consists of 'Features' which the user can choose to install. Each feature consists of one or more Componenents and each Component has (normally) one or more files. In your case it looks like you've assigned the salehist.dbf file to the wrong component so I'd guess you need to poke around in the 'Advanced Views/Components' view and see if you can correct it there.
