trying to us RELATIVE PATH ON MY CONNECTION STRIN

[RAW]

Hi Im trying to us relative path in my connection string instead of absolute
what Im doing wrong this is my code

Sub Page_Load() Dim strConnection as String =
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" strConnection += "Data
Source=Server.MapPath("../dbcontainer/content.mdb") data_src.text =
strConnection

What is the exception and what does server.mapppath return?

This by the way is not a good idea to build a connection string because you
will not be taking adantage of the connection pooling in the framework.
Connection pooling uses a exact match algorithm. Most times, building
strings does not result in a exact match.
