I have a .mdb, which is giving me fits! I would like to just copy the file over with out any type of version or attribute checking. I don't want it registered in the Files Remove dialog. What is the simpliest way to accomplish. Thank you all once again.

Windows Installer does not really provide a way to always overwrite a file.
Probably the most reliable way to always overwrite the file is to write code to delete the file so that the new one always gets installed.

The other option would be "version lying", i.e. put a version number in the File table of your .msi. Thus Windows Installer thinks the file in your msi is newer than the existing file and will always overwrite it. (Always in this case also means during a modify or repair operation!)
