Hi,

Myself Anil Sen from India. I've been using Visual Basic.Net 2005 from last six months and i've found ur book as an invaluable help. However I have recently encountered a special problem to which i've found no solution anywhere. Its just that i'm building a program that uses a database. Now i want the database to be in the system folder. Again since path to system folder is different in different computers, how should i construct the connection string so that it
finds the path of the system folder in a given computer and adjusts the connection string accordingly. Also i don't want the users to know where the database is and its password. Is there anyway through which these problems could be solved? I'll appreciate ur help and will remain thankful to u always.

regards

anil
