Wow, nobody's answered this yet? OK, I am not a Web expert, but I'll take a stab at it. Have you tried Google? I searched for "Asp_Data Connection String" and came up with a few hits, and something like this seems to be what you need:

"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source=" + Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/ASPNetDB.mdb")

>I am getting desperate. I have deployed this website 5 times last night trying to get a connection string to work for access. I can do it fine on my development machine because I use the full path to the file. On the web server I don't know what this is. If someone could help it would be greatly appreciated.
