database directory bug?
-
i use this string to connect on my database conn.ConnectionString = @"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data source= myDatabase.mdb;"; the problem is i consider my database is in the same directory of the main .exe infact at the first time it find the database, but if i call an openDialog form to load some file it moves the current directory path at the path of the file loaded in the openDialog... So if i try to reconnect at my database it find nomore the source .mdb . How could i handle this bug?

Its not a bug, the current working directory has been changed by the file open dialog so the current working directory is no longer that of your application hence you can't see the database. You need to give the full path to your database. You should be able to get the path of your exe, and then append the database name on to the end of it, so wherever you app is installed it will always work.

The
FileDialogclass (from whichOpenFileDialogis derived) has aRestoreDirectoryproperty that if set to true will direct the dialog to restore the current directory before closing. Charlie if(!curlies){ return; }
