Hi all i have tested my webstie in asp.net and it works on my pc well.

When i upload it to the server and test it...it allows me to login and takes me to the insert record page. Which it should do.

But when i want to view records (view_records.aspx). Which has datagrid all the patients. I get the following error msg?

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Not a valid file name. 
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.ProcessResults(Int32 hr) 
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.InitializeProvider() 
at System.Data.OleDb.OleDbConnection.Open() 
at DreamweaverCtrls.DataSet.DoInit()
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
System.Exception: The DefaultView was requested but no tables yet exist. 
at DreamweaverCtrls.DataSet.get_DefaultView()

Google would be a good start to check out the error.

Have you also looked at what the file name actually is when it errors?

most likely there it's referencing a file on your local box, not a relative path in the app. that's why it will run on your box but not the server.

hi guys thankx for the reply....it was the reference to my database in the web.config file.

Slight correction of that made it work...
