publishing the program

[didgydont]

hello
when publishing a program is it possible to get it to include or copy over a mdb file and can the setup be made into 1 setup file instead of the "Application Files Folder" and "Program name.application"
thank you

to get it to include or copy over a mdb file

If the mdb is included in Project it is also included in deployment. When using the add data source wizard you're asked if you want to include the database in project, if you're not using the wizard you have to add the file manually, "add existing item" (data files).

can the setup be made into 1 setup fil

You have to use a Setup project to do this, it creates a single msi installer. Only Pro version of VS has this. Other option is to use a third-party installer to create msi setup.
