First time using SQL Server.
I have created a SQL server 2008 Express database called "AbcDatabase" using SSMS.
I have detached "AbcDatabase" so that I can use it in my application.
I have an Windows Desktop application created in vb 2010 Express which I will install on the Customer's computer using ClickOnce.
Normally, in the VB5 days, I would copy the setup.exe file for my application and copy my mdb access database and other files to a flash drive and use the flash drive to install my system, databases and files on the Customer's computer.
Since SQL Server is a different world, what steps are required for me to deploy my "AbcDatabase" Server 2008 Express Database on a Customer's computer to be accessed over his LAN by his Client computers? For instance, do I have to first install SQL Server 2008 Express on the Customer computer designated for the server? If so, What next?
