Hi,

I'm trying to use a connection string in the config file to a database file (.mdf) in the App_Code dir.

This is working fine locally but once uploaded to webwiz i get the following error...

Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy. To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.

Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request failed.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Much appreciated!

To use an Access database with ASP.NET you need to place the application in to Full Trust.

The page below has information on how you would do this:-
