I am deploying a web form developed in VB.NET
using an OleDB connection to an Access DB.
I am able to deploy the app with the DB residing
in the same folder to the web server and get it
running.

I now want to change the configuration so that
the the DB does NOT reside anhywhere in the web
directory. (For security reasons.)

I tried setting up a DSN in the ODBC Data Source
Administrator, however I now know that
Visual Studio does not support use of a DSN in
the IDE (at least not comprehensively)--
you have to use a code behind which
can be rather nasty.
( See http://www.developerfusion.com/show/3581/ )

Question: How would I access this DB if it is on another
computer on the same network? OR, can I put the DB
outside of the web directory on the web server and
still be able to access it? What configuration should I
use?

Thanks!
