Hi Everyone,

Just a quick question, can i connect asp pages to access database that does
not reside in fpdb folder but instead in the root directory?

Thanks,

Shikha

Yes, but you would need to modify the permissions on the database to enable
the IUSR account (the anaonymous web user) to have read/write/delete
permissions to the file. That's what the _fpdb folder is for, to limit the
security risk to the site by keeping the specialized permissions in a
seperate directory.
