Hi, You may try using Microsoft's Deployment Toolkit for MSDE, that plugs directly in to Visual Studio. This provides an easy to use way of packaging your app with MSDE. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=6e9a7403-c4ba-4d98-bb0b-2c9d6414071f&DisplayLang=en[^] I hope this helps.
