setting database path at setup for connect string??

What is the best/common practice when configuring the database path?

When the asp application is distributed to customers. How can I
facilitate trouble-free installation?. In my applications I use
servermappath to determine the position of my files, but databases
(Access) are usually stored in different folder structures depending
on the servers.

What is usually done to configure an application?? Ask the
administrator/customer to edit global.asa manually? Is there a way to
make this task easier for non experienced customers? Is the connect
string with the path usually stored in global.asa or in an include
file??

Thanks

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.
