I have a solution with 4 Visual Basic projects plus a Installation project.

The main one is called CCA and contains just the user interface.

Another one (called CCA.DAL) contains the data access layer.

The documentation recommends creating the connection string in the project
settings and then editing the file in the live environment to point to the
database.  This I have done.

However it appears that the only configuration file that exists is the
configuration file for CCA (the main user interface project).

All the data access components are in CCA.DAL project.  Inside that project  
"My.Settings...." refers to CCA.DAL's settings.  Surely it is possible to
access CCA's settings????  Or do I have to do something so that CCA.DAL's
settings also create a config file?

Thanks in advance
