Configuration error

[Dan]

Can anyone tell me what to do about this? I tried "true" and "false". Get
same error message. Thanks

You can change "true" and "false" all day long, and it won't accomplish
anything. The error message indicates that you are using a config file in a
subfolder of your web app, and that the config file (web.config) has
sections in it which are "MachineOnly" sections. They should not be there.

OK but I am still lost. I did add a database connection string to the
WebConfig file which includes
.....Data Source=c:\genealogyweb\genealogytables.mdb"

I am sure that I need to change this when I publish the site. Is this the
problem? What do I change it to? just "genealogytables.mdb"?

Thanks for the help.

This error usually comes because the virtual directory isn't set to be
an asp.net application. You do this with the IIS manager.

Lots of good stuff but I still don't see how to build the connection string
on the remote website.
