installing my VB 6 application on a Windows 2000 based network

[ambra19]

Hi,
I would like my VB 6 application which uses an Access 2000 database to be installed on a network in order that several users can use it. after compiling, where do i put everything (the dlls and the database)?

Thanks.

Hiya,

The database should be on the server only, in a shared name folder (or sub of a shared name folder).

The VB app. has to be installed on all clients.

Regards,

thanks darrylle,
just one more, should i install all the dlls on each client (ie i have a forms dll, an in between dll and a data dll) or does the datadll go on the server?
thanks again.

DLL's need to go on the client. Use the Packaging and Deployment Wizard (or one of the other std deployment tools) to ensure that the DLL's go to the right place and, more importantly, get registered. Let me know if this helps
