ASPRunnerPro General questions

I'm using a Windows 2000 server. Also, using Microsoft Access as the database. I load the database on the server in Inetpub\wwwroot\database.mdb. Then I build the webpage with ASPrunnerPro.
After I build the pages I find that a subfolder has been build \db and that a database.mdb file is in that folder also.
My question is which database is the live one that will be accessed and modified from the web interface?
Any help will be appreciated!!!!!
ASPRunner is great, I'm not even close to a programmer and people are asking me how I did that interactive database.. ... <img src='https://asprunner.com/forums/file.php?topicimage=1&fieldname=question&id=1063&image=1&table=forumtopics' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />

Hi,
If you use Server.MapPath option ASPRunnerPro creates a copy of your database in the output folder to prepare files to be moved to the remote Web server. This database copy is the live one.
If you do not plan to move ASP application to the remote Web server just uncheck Use Server.MapPath option on the connection screen.
