ASP.NET is problably running on a IIS server. You have to put it in the root folder of your IIS server.

Having said that...............

same issue ..

You realize that you are pointing to App_Data in your connection string. Yet in neither of the 2 errors are you putting it in the App_Data folder. Also, this is completely wrong:

Server.MapPath("App_Data\\Database1.accdb; Persist Security Info=False;")

try this instead:

Server.MapPath("App_Data\\Database1.accdb") + "; Persist Security Info=False;"

Also, whatever Server.MapPath("") + "App_Data" comes to, that is where you need to put the file.

Also, this is the javascript part of the forum. You will be better served to ask this in the ASP.Net part of the forum. I suggest moving it there.
