Default App Not seeing database after install


Hi All,

I am using setup factory 6 to create my install setup.exe,
It installs with no errors with all the shortcuts and everything.

I start the app (BTW, This is on a clean machine with no programing related software of any kind) and it doesn't load my data from the database.

The database is there w/ data and all calls if you will are as follows:

Dim DB As Database

Set DB = OpenDatabase (App.Path & "\Data\DatabaseName.mdb")

code to load data to listbox here.

In the VB envirnment it works with no problem.

Anyone have any ideas?


Thanks

Hi,

This might be a stupid question but have you checked that the Installer has put the .mdb file in the correct directory ?

Not such a stupid question, are you getting any error messages ? If so what are they / is it ?

Regards
Doug

Yes, I I did, I even check to see if the app sees the db before its even called to open. It is there and goes through the process but doesn't load any data from the db.
