specifying path names on windows mobile


hey there....
I am using visual studio to create a program that reads and
writes from an xml file "books.xml". Everything deploys
ok to my ppc but I'm having trouble specifying the path name of the xml
file.

does anybody happen to know...

- How can I specify an absolute path on windows mobile 5? (
"c:/books.xml" doesn't allow me to find the file.)

- Where should I put an xml file when using a
relative path? referring to("books.xml"); and placing the
file in the deployed application directory on my ppc returns an error
that it can't find the file either.

any help is would be greatly appreciated....
cheers. camm.
