VB question

[ayanes21]

I am pretty new at this stuff so please bare with me. I just made a pretty simple program in VB I connected it to an access table and have everything working fine on my computer once I compiled it my problem is when I try to run the program in another pc it comes up with the splash screen then stops and says missing one of the componets DBGRID. I did but a grid in there to hold some info. But what can I do so that whenthe user runs the app it loads everything. Any help is greatly appreciated.

When installing the program in another computer you must make a package with the package and deployment wizard. This makes a setup file which determines all the files that are needed to run the program in another machine. Remember, when you install visual basic on your computer you have all the components, however, when installing the program you made on a computer without Visual Basic installed on it you dont have those components in that specific computer. The package and deployment wizard does this for you, it gathers everything you need to make the program work in a pc without the developing environment.

The package and deployment wizard doesn't always work! Usually is does, but not always! I tried using it to package my speech recognition program (it is a Game-Commander 2 style app), but it wouldn't include the speech API into the package!

I just recently got Install Shield, and that seems to work great! It also provides a lot more options for packaging your software!

Where would I go to get the package and deployment wizard?

It should have come with Visual Basic!
