Dear everybody
I really need your help!!
I have made a small application in Visual Basic 2008 Express. It's a small form application with a Database connected to the project. (made from the wizard in VB express)
My problem is that when I deploy my application i can't find the mdf file where the data of the application i stored. I have found a mdf file which i have tryed to connect to through excel but this data is not the same as in my application.
What am i doing wrong??

You wouldn't normally deploy sql server with an application, you normally have sql server running on a dedicated windows server on the network and clients connect to it, otherwise you have no single database for the company - each user has their own database, which doesn't make sense.
Have a look at http://en.csharp-online.net/Deployin...4Prerequisites

Dear adatapost
Thank you for your kind reply - my problem is that when working on the Express edition of VS you can only work with local databases in win form apps.
But i actually managed to find the mdf file at connect it to the SQL server management studio. It was located under - program files\apps\2.0\ect ect
But thank you for helping me anyway...
Kind regards
