server.mappath method - please help - ASP / Active Server Pages

sean

Hi There,

I need to map a path to my database file automatically, if I move the
application to a different direcotry level I still have to write part of the
path to get the application to work.

Is there anyway I can translate the directory path and place inside the
mappath function so I dont have to manually edit it?

cst = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" &
server.mappath("\shopsmartnetwork\cart\cart.mdb")
