Client Machine accesing sqlexpress

This may a silly question but....

I wrote a vb 2005 application that access sqlexpress for data using sqlconnection (.NET). The program works fine. When I run debug on my code that is in my laptop, it access my xp server box with sqlexpress running and I see all my data in my application. My question is..When I compile this program and install it on a client machine that has no sqlexpress tools, no SQLCMD etc....will the application run and access the xp server box, or do I have to install something on the client machine.

thanks

hi,

your "remote client pc" does only need your app and the .Net Framework, which installs all the required libraries to connect to local and remote SQLServer instances..
