Get path to Access DB

[Antonby]

I have a .NET project that uses a web.config setting that contains a connect string to my Access database.
This approach works fine on my local pc, however when I moved the project to this hosting site, it says it cannot connect to the database. I put the database in the _database directory. I tried local paths like: /_database/mydb.mdb and \_database\mydb.mdb and so forth to no avail....

Can you help?

If you store it in your web.config file, then use the complete reference to the database. You can find this reference in the control panel at discountasp.net.


Go to Account Management > Account Information


Here you'll find the Server path : e.g. e:\web\_myaccountname\htdocs, so the reference to your database will be e:\web\_myaccountname\htdocs\_database\mydb.mdb
