I am making a visual basic project and using MS Sql database as datasource. Now my problem is if I will use the project's .exe file on any other machine which has MS Sql already installed, then will the application will start using the database on its own or do I need to do something else while making the .exe file.

Only if the server name, user, password and database are identical to the one you used. Usually, you will have a config setting which contains all this information (ConnectionString).
