Hi.
A windows app, i went on to www.connections trings.com like you said i must on one of ur post replies but there is no connection string to an Sql database that is inside your bin/debug folder of your application.

I am going to deploy the app but need the application to work independantly of SQL EXPRESS, read/write data to sql db inside the applications folders....whic h will be the application.sta rtuppath.

am not sure about sql express. but if it works the same way as the developer and enterprise version, you don't connect to it by pointing the the file itself....you have to connect it through it's network protocol...
