Where is my mdb file

[anon]

This is probably the same question I asked before, but my isp is being
completely unresponsive.

There is a option to set up a database folder and copy an mdb file to it.
Since I can't find a way to read/write files, I thought I might try this.
But it also needs a Data Source to create an OleDbConnection, which needs
the full path of the mdb file.

Any guesses, or any other standard way of locating the DB folder (it seems
to be a one-click setup, and I can't find any other info about the path).

It does claim to support FrontPage extensions. Does FrontPage store its
mdb's in a specific place, and how does it access them?

Are all ISP's this crap?

There is often a directory named "database" or "db" at the same level as
your "www". When you FTP in (assuming you default to www) go up on level to
see if it is there.

If you have access to the directory above your wwwroot, this might be a good
place to put your db folder. You get the physical path to your wwwroot
folder by creating an aspx page with the following code:

<% Response.Write(Request.PhysicalApplicationPath); %>
