Figured out a very simple way thanks to the design of the MM framework (Kudos Kevin!) Didnt have to use new dataaccess class.


Created a new database manager and overrode the GetConnectionString method. I only have one connectionstring in my app, so i didnt need to check the database key

public class DMSDatabaseManager:OakLeaf.MM.Main.Managers.mmDatabaseManager
{
   public override string GetConnectionString(string databaseKey)
   {
        return "server=xx;.......";
   }
}

Next I overrode the CreateDatabaseManager to instantiate the class above in the Factory in Factory.cs

public class Factory : OakLeaf.MM.Main.Windows.Forms.mmFactoryDesktop
{
	public override mmDatabaseManager CreateDatabaseManager()
	{
		DMSDatabaseManager oDBMgr = new DMSDatabaseManager();
		return oDBMgr;
	}

}

And further, I put the DMSDatabaseManager into a separate project by itself, so if the connection string ever changes, all I need to do is change, rebuild and deploy just the one dll instead of the entire app.
