Hi all, how can I use a relative path in my web.config file for an Access
db?:
Instead of using
<configuratio n>
<appSettings>
<add key="conAccess" value="microsof t.jet.oledb.4.0 ;data
source=c:/Inetpub/MyApp/data/database.mdb" />
...
I would rather use
<add key="conAccess" value="microsof t.jet.oledb.4.0 ;data
source=data/database.mdb" />
however this doesn't work: I get an error like
"C:\WINNT\syste m32\data\databa se.mdb is not a valid path. ..."
can anyone help?
cheers, Jan Vandorpe 6 11772
You unlikely have the notion of current path (preventing to have a relative
path) in this context.
I would store this info separately and would have the code translating the
relative path to an absolute path. For example you could store :
~/../../data/MyBase.mdb and use Server.MapPath to inject the absolute path
in the connection string, the path in the web.config file being relative to
the root of the web site...

Hi,
I am not following you:
Firstly I have tried ~/data/MyBase.mdb and it doesn't work because the
server transplants it for some reason on my system32 directory.
Secondly how can I use Server.mapPath in an xml file?
sorry...

I'll try to rephrase that.
IMO it's best to avoid non controlled relative path in a connection string
(what is the current path for an OLEDB provider ?).
Instead of storing the whole connection string in a single entry in the web
config file, I would store the Data Source entry as a separate entry in the
web config file. When the app retrieve this entry it can then use
server.mappath (or whatever else) to translate this relative path to an
absolute path. This absolute path can then be used to construct the final
connection string.
As a side note and as for now the path is taken relative to
c:\windows\syst em32, the other option would be to create your relative path
to your file from the c:\windows\syst em32 directory. That said and should
this base directory change for some reason, it would messed up the file
path.
