Package Wizard Shared Files

[HasMan]

Does anyone know how to identify a file as a shared file when using the
Package Wizard in Microsoft Office Professional 2003 with Developer
Extensions? I was able to do this with Office 2000, but I don't see anywhere
to do this in 2003. Everything works great and I can run the install and
uninstall, but I want to identify a file as shared so when the user goes to
run the uninstall, they will be presented with a question as to whether or
not they are sure they want to uninstall that file.

My RunTime App has an MDE file and linked data in a MDB file. The data
tables are linked to the MDE file and during installation the linked MDB data
file is installed also. When someone would do an uninstall, I don't want the
uninstall to uninstall the MDB data file without first asking the user "are
you sure".

And when installing, if the MDB file exists, I would also like to ask if
they would like to overwrite it...Thanks

Try asking this in an Access group. The Developer Extensions are only for
Access, so you're more likely to find someone in an Access group with an
idea about this.
