It was probably me who mentioned the "Zipped Up" method. It is better if
a) You are already using code to extract for ZIP files.
b) It is a horribly complex database, possibly with some initial data
c) You can't be arsed to write the creation code
d) The db design is not finalized, changing the resource *may* be easier
than altering the code
e) Personal preference - this is tythe most importqant
Of course zipping is not compulsory but it does reduce the size of the EXE
(if you have stuck it in as a resource), you could just have the db as a
seperate file, perhaps rename it and then make a copy when a fresh database
is required.
