That works very well. Thank you.
Hi Mike
That was just perfect, although I did not understand a thing. lol
Another question regarding this.
- I have a 1 textfile, 1 Excel, 2 Access 2007 Database which I want to
include in my exe
- I manage to read the textfile using resources and System.Reflection
- I manage to extract excel file from resources to my hdd by this linkhttp://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/Vsexpressvb/thread/d481095...
- I guess I can do the same for the first access 2007 and extract it to a
folder.
But can I use the second access 2007 which I want to read rows from it using
either resources or System.Reflection without extracting it?
Thanks.

I'm always a little vague with the awnser. So you also have to look a
bit :)
Little vague is much easier than reading Chinese As Mike response lol
Conserning your Access files However you will have to create 2 access
aplications fort the 2 files, I think it will be easier to open them
with ado.
That is the idea, one Access file should handle information belong to the excel file and I just want to read it from the EXE using ADO , Can I ? (just to add, not very important demand)
The other file will be extracted and the excel file should read it using odbc,
something to think about:
I don't think you will be able to lood them again into your exe file.
You already have 4 files as a resource. Maybe the exe will be very
large.
Jan
You are absolutely correct, but this exe work as a management only, the user will click on (new project from the menu), this should create new (extract) Excel file, New Access File, create dsn, and link the Excel to get query from the Access and when that finished, the user will work on the Excel all the time.
Thank you for your advice.
