How to make VB6/SQL installable as is done in VB6/Access 2

[pramod2179]

I have made VB6/Access installables and run on machines without access installed on the machine. Can I do the same for VB6/SQL combination? And how? I do not want my customer to buy SQL7.

Dear ;

No , you must have SQL Server to run application with SQL and VB.

If you buy the Visual Studio or other Microsoft Developement tools, you can distribute MSDE with your applications. MSDE is the Desktop version of SQL Server. Check out the following articles.
