Hi,


I have a database .mdb file wich I created entirely in MS
Access. I did not save the file as a.vbp file. I have
the Packaging and Deployment Wizard on my computer, but I
noticed that when I try to use it, it only allows me the
option of packaging and deploying .vbp files, not .mdb
files.

Does anyone know how I can somehow convert my .mdb file
into a .vob file so that I can use the Packaging and
Deployment Wizard on it?

What are my options?

Thanks in advance,
geebee
 
This Packaging and Deployment Wizard that you are trying to use is part of,
and for, Visual Basic. This is not for Access.
For Access, you need to have the Office Developer (also called Developer
Tools, ODE or MOD ...)

If you do have Developer Tools installed, here is how to launch this wiz
(the gods at Microsoft decided to hide it to keep developers blood pressure
at a optimum high):

Open your mdb application
Open a module in design mode
From the menubar, select Add-Ins and double click the "VBA Packaging and Dep
Wiz" to load it.
Click Ok.
Now it is available under the Add-Ins menu. Select it to launch it.

Note that you cannot see under the main database window menubar Tools ->
Add-Ins (that Add-Ins is for mda, mde.. files)
