Question : Connection String for MS Access database outsiide wwwroot

I am writing in asp with MS Access.  Need to move to a new server.  

In my old server, database files are stored within wwwroot, so the following connection string works:

Set Conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Conn.Open "PROVIDER=MICROSOFT.JET.OLEDB.4.0;DATA SOURCE=" & Server.MapPath("_data/Files.mdb")

In the new server, I need to store database outside wwwroot.  Any suggestion how to modify the connection string?

Many thanks,

You have to hard-code the reference to the MDB file in your connection string, e.g. H:\databases\myDB.mdb (you can't use server.mappath)
The server admin will have to set up a drive mapping and set permissions.
