problem with setup file
I have made a setup in VB. i installed the setup on another machine which doesnt have either VB or SQL server so when i execute the application, it gives me an error that SQL Server doesnot exists. I am using winsock and richtexbox control in the VB application too.
Can any one tell me how to overcome this error. Do i have to install SQL Server on that machine also or is there any other alternative. someone suggested me to use MSDE. What is it? |

It depends on where the actual sql server is installed. If your application is looking for a sql server on the same computer, then yes you need to install sql server on that machine. If your db is on a different server, then you need to have the MDAC database drivers installed on your target computer and you need a suitable connection string to connect to the sql server, and all firewall ports used must be opened.

Thanx Doug G,
I did this by creating the DSN name and then using that in the query string. Quote:
