I have a DataGridView that is bound to a db. When I package the App the db is installed in a subdirectory of the App directory. The user is allowed to install the App in the default dir or a dir of his choosing.

When I install the App and start it I get an err saying the db cannot be located.
Is there a way to redirect that binding to the new db location with code? Somehow use Application.StartupPath() re-direct that binding? Can this even be done?
