If you are not doing the install yourself or you have no idea what is on the machine and neither does the customer. Or the customer is not local to you, you might want to look at purchasing SageKey scripts, it gets around a lot of OS glitches that might occur like hooking to the correct version of Access, if the machine has multiple versions or you are also installing multiple 3'd party ActiveX controls. http://www.sagekey.com Since you are not giving the code to the customer, you might make em feel more secure if you escrow the code This doesn't have to be fancy just store a version with a local lawyer or notary. Some goverment departments are insisting on this. Dan Waters wrote: >Hi Julie, > >The Packaging Wizard will package what you tell it to package.
