Hi, could anyone help me?
I'm wanting to use Visual Basic 6 with a database incorporated that I have
already created. The database has all the forms and code etc in it, I just
want to put it all into a VB6 project to make an exe.

Thankyou in advance

Why? What advantages do you think will be gained by moving to VB6?

To allow users who do not have Access installed to run your database, you
can obtain the Access runtime support, which does not "create an .exe" but
installs an version of Access which does not allow design view. The runtime
support is specific to version, except for very recent versions. The good
news is that the Access 2007 runtime can be downloaded for free, and, if my
memory serves, will run Access .MDB or .MDE from Version 2000 - 2007. Visit
Tony Toews' site, http://www.granite.ab.ca/accsmstr.htm, to find more
information on runtime support and how to obtain it.
