I installed it in my laptop it works fine, but when I installed it on another computer it does not work.

Check to make sure the user has sufficient right on the folder where the Access database is located, the user needs read and write rights.
If the application is installed in "Program Files\Application" the user will have no right to write there on Vista and Windows 7.

Also check if the file is not read-only.
