I have a working Vb app, that uses a msaccess(accdb) database. It is just a data entry program. It works fine on my laptop, where I have developed it. I want to move the MSAccess DB to a server share and install the program on another PC(Terminal Server). My users will connect to the Terminal Server and run the program. My questions are;

1. Does the server of the Ms Access DB need to have MS access loaded on it and/or the machine that the program is running from?
2. Is there a way to include the Ms Access DB in the program so when I publish it, the database will go with it?(if yes, I understand my first question is irrelevant.)
2b. If not, is there a way that I can put a relative path in the program, so that it will always look locally for it or does the path have to be static.

Thanks for any help!
Brian
