ASPRunnerPro General questions

If I make a simple change in the Access database such as a datatype from text to memo on a database field, and do a re-build of the saved project, all of my input data is missing and I have to re-enter all of the text in the table. All I do is make the database change in access, open up a saved project, select the table name that I changed in access from the data source table in ASP Runner and select build. When I go to view the table from within ASP Runner I have to add the record back. All of the previous data is missing from the table. This also removes the data from all of the tables I have when doing a build.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

this might sound corney..

When you copy the files over to your web server are you copying the database folder as well? It could be that ASPRUNNER puts a copy of your original source database in that folder and you might be overwriting it. Try copying your Database to another location, make your edits, then copy your database back to its rightful place.
