connect to text file database

Mar 18th, 2003

Hi all..

im kinda new to vb..i tried to connect my data control to a text file generated by my visual data manager, but every time i tried to run the app..it says that i dont give a right location for my file, i dont specified the location from the properties but instead i used

With datDB
.DatabaseName = App.Path & "\mytxt.txt"
.RecordSource = "Names"
End With

is there something i miss ?

and second question is, how to distribute my .exe without the MSVBVM60.DLL ?

TQ in advance

The data control can't hook up with a text file. You will need to create a Access data base (.db) and put your data into it for the data control to work.
The answer to your next question is "You can't". Use the setup in vb so all needed files are put together.... Unless the other computer already has the files on them.
