How to add a .mdb file into the installer -

Hi! I just need to know this:

I have a project wich uses a database.mdb file. When I make the installer using the VB package wizzard, I realise that it does not includes the database... How can I include that file and use the installer to install it? Of course, I can do manual copy and paste of the file, but I would like the installer to do it automatically.

By the way, can you recommend me a better package?

I hope you can understand my english.

Thanks!
