Hi
I m also doing Bscs Hons but its my first semester and just started over a month ago.

Copy the app in the same directory you have in yours computer
For example:



If you have saved your project as well as .exe file and databases in directory
D:\My App\

Then copy it to another pc in same directory like
D:\My App\

Now problem is solved.

If you are loading your database from a directory then use app.path function it will help you a lot

GOOD LUCK
ALI

You need to avoid hard coding the path of the database file . Use App.Path

yes i had this problem in the past, as debasisdas said, use app.path and when you publish the project there is a way to publish the .mdb file with your project, which i have forgotten how to do :s
