    Hi,
    There's sthing I didn't understand about using dbase with VB. Let's say i want to use db in my phone book program. Do everybody who download it must have Access or any db server installed? Or they can add to tables without any server?

    They don't have to have Access installed, but they must have the Jet runtime library installed. When you want to distribute your program, try using the Package & Deployment Wizard (one of the VB tools), which will include all the files your application needs to run. Bear in mind that the VB runtime file alone is 1 MB.... so VB apps are not ideal for being downloaded...!
