Why go for third party?

VB came with a tool to help you achieve this.
1. Click Start
2. Navigate to the VB Program group (i.e. All Programmes - Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 - Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 Tools)
3. Select Package and Deployment Wizard.

It will launch the wizard. Just follow the steps and you are done.

While selecting the files, please include the Access mdb file as one of the files to be deployed by your installer.

For more help. Refer to your Help in VB. Search for Package deployment wizard.

Happy coding.
