Form stopped writing to DB after move from internal to external server

[mark929]

I have an ASP.net web form writing to a SQL Database. It is a basic form with checkboxes, option buttons, and textboxes. It worked perfectly when located on our internal server. We moved both form and DB to our external web server for unrestricted access by employees. After the move, the form is no longer writing to the database.

The only possible clue I have noticed is that after you click on submit button. It takes quite a while for the conformation page to appear, but still does not write to the DB. It's as if it's searching for the DB.

While on the internal server, this time from submit to conformation page was almost instantaneous.

The copy of the form and DB on the internal server is still working perfectly. The form and DB on the external server is not.

I would really appreciate any ideas or suggestions as to why this move might have effected the form.

Thanks

I found the problem. The appSettings path in the WebConfig was not a complete path to the new DB location.
