deployment of visual basic widnows application 2005 dilemma
I have deployed my program successfully in terms the users can save and retrieve the data. What I am having issues with is opening various pdf's files. What my program does is it pulls various pdf reports when the users conduct their search and when the user double clicks on a specific report found in a datagrid, it open up on my development machine, but not after deployment. I have zipped over 50 pdf's into a zip folder which I added to Application folder and set the path to the zip folder where all the reports will be located after installation of the program.
When I double click on the found report, I generate an error that"the system cannot find the file specified", but the report is there in an zipped file and the path to it is set withi an ACCESS 2007 database.
I am not familiar with how you can read the reports through the interface of the software that are located within a zip folder.
I even tried unzipping the folder that contrains all these pdf's and that generated the same error.
Can someone with knowledge with this issue please help me?

what do I do if I answered my question myself?
thanks
thanks
You can request to close the question, with points refunded
-or-
simply award the points to one answer or more
My point of view.
When I ask a question I beleive that I take advantage of all the experts knowledge
I award points for an answer I get (cost-nothing {no-money}) and I get valuable answers (experts' time=money)
Have fun coding...

And indeed it was a "path issue" http:#20025719"-or- a "path problem" http:#20026981
I would award all points to Colemss as he/she was the first to point to the problem

it was much simpler than that. all I had to do is add a regular foler to application folder and populate it with reports.
thanks for helping
