Thanks for all of your valuable input.

Thank you both. I know it's a better way to go. I haven't had anybody say otherwise. It's a matter of convincing the people here- it'll be tough unfortunately.

thanks Mark. I fixed my problem for the most-part, but in some pages it still tries to refer to an old reference i had to an "s:" drive. can't find it anywhere. I agree that I would have used sql server but it wasn't my choice. thank you.

Hi, There is a copy of my database in the app_data folder in my asp.net project. When I query the database, I am pointing to one that exists in another directory. What is really the purpose of it being where it is? Have I done something I am not aware of ? I have read some, but I am not...

I have an asp.net application on a server. I am referring to the database which lives on the "d:" drive on that particular server, so I thought I would refer to it as such in a connection string like this: AcString = "provider = microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0; data...

I compacted and repaired both - back and front and I still can't see the new table in the front end. What can I try now? thanks.

I compacted and repaired the back end, but I didn't do the fron end ( I think I remember not doing it ). The name of the table is "users". I had a "test" database on my laptop with a table called users and it seemed ok. I will compact and repair the front end and see if it works. thanks.

hi, I added a new table to the back-end of my 2003 database and when I tried to link the front end to the back end , it does not see the new table. how do I do this? I have tried to link it 3 times, but it still does not work. I have not had problems linking before. Any ideas? thanks

I can't do that because it gives me error messages. Where is your code that you displayed?

Ok. I tried to "reconfigure" my data source object,but it's giving me the error that I mentioned above - "unable to find connection string..." I have no idea what to do other than start over from the very beginning because I can't point to a different database.

When I try to look at the configuration of some of the datasets I have created, it tells me something like "Configure TableAdapter Students failed. Unable to find connection 'TESTSUB0202BConnectionString' for object 'Web.config'. The connection string could not be found in application...

hi, I am working on trying to figure out why I cannot connect to my database after changing the connectionstring in web.config. If I could change it successfully, does that mean that the data source objects I had defined based on a different database (same tables but different database name...

hi, I changed my connectionstrings in my web.config file and I have some problems I hope you can help me with. I get lots of errors :" Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please...

Thanks Mark. I was just starting to realize that I should modify my webconfig file to point to the correct database. I'll read the link you sent. Thanks again.

hi, I am moving my application from my PC where I have been developing my asp.net project. Before moving it all over to the server( code,etc), I decided to change the connection strings to the database on the server. When I run my app, I get errors because my data source objects are still...
