This means that the web server you are using is setup not to allow perent path (ie. ../) is not allowed on the web server you are using. Either get your web hosts to change the security settings for your site to allow parent paths or you will have to get rid of the MapPath method and use the physical server file path to the database. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |
