deploying database

[markhrussell]

I Have created a program that on the development machine the databases is working just fine. in my exe bulider I have included both the .mdb and .udl files and they are in the application folder where they are supposed to be but when I run a test and try to push out the data. it get an error saying that it can't find the udl.  what steps am I supposed to take to deploy a program that databases. 

Thanks Mark

Check your path to the files.  As a built exe, the Application Directory VI returns a different path than a VI in development mode.

Yes You are right that it returns a different path although I am Sure of the Path it returns.  I have an indicator that tells me. Also I am using that relative path VI in multiple instances and only have problems with the database reference

I tend to build/use the connection string instead of using connection files for this reason.
