How can you combine your exe and database files into one file like Access?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
You can't. And, in my opinion, this is a Good thing. Anyone who has struggled with corrupt MDB files, or tried to programmatically switch to anoher database in Access, probably shares my frustration at the Access approach. In fact, even Access is getting away from this with the new project files in Access 2000.
Is there a particular reason you wanted to do this in your VB app?
