Solution 1

If you don't have sql server in your other machine, you could install the DB using a sql script and pointing to another machine (instance of sql server)

script[^]

Depends if you are going to use installshield, VisualStudio, or another how you will do it.

Good attempt at an answer, but you didn't type in txtspk, so he won't understand you! but 5 for trying

You asked this question in the VB Forum.
Do not cross post.
Also, do not speak like a child.

If you feel only able to communicate in the digital equivalent of clicks and grunts then try another developer site.

Txtspk is for insolent teenage girls and morons who cannot be bothered to type on a keyboard properly with their fat simian fingers.
