I have an app that uses an Access database. When I take it to another computer I have to renconfigure the data adapters. Is there a way to set up the project so I can give it to someone else for them to work on it without reconfiguring everything?

I also need to make an installation file. Can you hide the database file after installation so a user can't access it and change information?

Is there a link to a tutorial on how to make installation files?
 
You can add a configuration file, specify the path of the Database and then
set the connection's connectsring to the string you put in the Config file.

Here's a simple example of it....you can also just use an xml file and read
it in, but in this instance, add a config file specifically and set the key
to the connect string. http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20030907.asp
