I dont have it in front of me but I think if you include them in the project so that you can see them in the project explorer and set their build action to content. Then when you build your installer be sure to tell it to include content files.

both mdb and sql data sources are locarted on the right of the screen from what i remember. Where your Forms are located, there is a tab there called Data Source, click it, and use the wizard.
