I went to save an access db in the bin folder so I do not have to hard code
it like this:
string sConnString = "Provider=Micro soft.Jet.OLEDB. 4.0;Data
Source=E:\\\\Fr eddy\\Projects\ \vb.net\\Projec t Track It\\bin\\Projec t.mdb";

Hi Freddy,

I assume it is an ASP .NET app, where you can probably use Server.MapPath to
obtain the physical path of the virtual folder where your ASP .NET
application resides:

string sConnString =
string.Format(" Provider=Micros oft.Jet.OLEDB.4 .0;DataSource={ 0}\\bin\\Projec t.mdb",
Server.MapPath( "/MyWebApp");

Then, use Application.Sta rtupPath instead of Server.MapPath.
