Server.MapPath

Hi all,

Is it possible to put Server.MapPath in the web.config file? If so, how?

Cheers,
DavidI know of no way to do this (but if someone else knows - - ) - - - The problem is that neither the '&' or the '+' characters are allowed in a web.config file in the standard way you'd use it.
I dont think you can either.. whywould you want to anyway ?
I would think he's probably wanting to save the connection string for an MDB file there, just like you would for a SQL server connection string
Try this instead.

<appSettings>
<add key="datesdb"
value="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; data source=c:/My_dbs/dates2.mdb" />
</appSettings
***Remember to keep your databases out of the wwwroot folder for security reasons.
I forgot to show how to reference it:

Dim strConn As String = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("datesdb")
Ahhh yes, I've been workign with SQL Server so long i forgot about access files :)
