    Failed to share

    Hi ...

    I want to share the application program that has been under development
    in VB-6 and trying to access it from another machine. To do that I put the project and the database in the same folder and shared it . Although I can find the shared folder in the second computer,I failed to compile and run the program.

    Is there any thing that i miss?

      Hi. Are you running vb on both computers? This does not work very well. Do you want to develop the app on both computers or just run it?

          It seems likely that the path to the folder is different on each PC. There may be paths hard-coded in the database or the program source, which won't work when opened from the other PC.

                      Ok...

                      I want to run the program in the second machine which is connected to the first computer.

                          The simplest way is to install your compiler on both machines. Failing that you will have to create an install package.

                          If the app runs and fails to find the database you will need to create a system dsn on both computers with the same name that connect to the database. That way the connection in your app will work.
