View 1 RepliesI'm currently working on a project that populates a database with CAD document info from approx 20 engineers / draftsmen in an engineering office.I have the program functionality working on my computer. However, I would like to install this on the network and begin doing some addiitonal testing and debugging.
I'm unsure about the proper way to install the database and sql server express on the network. My program, which sends the info to the database, will be installed locally on each persons computer. Of course, the database file will be in a location on the network that everyone has access to.I'm assuming I should install the SQL Server Express on the network server as well. How do I setup the server for the SQL express?For example, when I installed it on my computer, the default server name was "Brian-HPSQLSERVER".How do I specify a new server name when installing the software?

View 4 RepliesI've written a simple program for viewing images. My issue is how someone would view these images If I deployed my project to a client. To display the images, I have an Access 2007 database with the full path written for each and the program reads the full path into the Picturebox.ImageLocation property. I've also stored the full, root, and relative paths in the database as separate fields. My issue is how to add these pictures to my project. and which project to add them to.
Do I add them to the main project with my forms?Do I add them to the installer/setup-wizard Project?Should I all the files individually or as a compressed .zip file? Additionally, I don't know how to point to these files once they're installed on a different machine/network. Do I write a different root path to the database when the program is installed somehow?
