Hi All,
I'm a newbie to this forum, and ASP runnerPro. So please excuse my mistakes.

I have a problem, or is there some fundermental point with Asp runner I'm missing. I am using Asprunner to allow access to an Access 2002 database on my server. The problem I'm having is that changes in the database data are not reflected on the web Asp pages, unless I rebuild the project in Asprunner. Is there a delay in the data being updated or is this the way ASPrunner works, i.e you only take a "snapshot" of the data at build time ?, and have to "rebuild" if you the"snapshot" updated with current data ?
Thanks
Rob

Rob,
I been working with ASPrunner for a couple of months now and I can say that is not the way it should work. Once the data is updated and the web page you have created is Refreshed you should see the changes.
Sorry I did not have the answer, I just wanted to give you some feedback.
thanks

Rob,
When you use Server.MapPath option ASPRunner creates a copy of your original database in Output folder. This option is used to prepare all generated files to be transfered to the remote server. ASP pages always work with the copy of your database.
If you do not plan to move ASP pages to the remote Web server uncheck Use Server.MapPath on database connection tab in ASPRunner. In this case ASP pages will work with your original database file.
