Sir, i have also the same problem

do not hardcode your database path.

Just make your setup structure like this:

App.exe (your compiled app)
database\db.mdb (your database)

Then on your code where you connect to database, you can do it like this:
App.path & "\database\db.mdb"

thats it. hope it helps.

thanks jhai,
but still when i want to install my setup in another pc it still says: This is not a valid path. that path belongs to my pc.

how did you create your installer? are you certain that all files are structured correctly?..

have you tried creating your own error handler? so it it will be easy to determine where you will need to fix it.

i made it through package and deployment software, yeah i am sure all the files are included, but i think the problem is at app.path, when i install the software in any other pc, it shows me my own pc path. i did'nt understand your code snippet link.
