access database .mdb files

[kami@]

Hi,
Does anyone know where to put .mdb file so the public won't be able to download it?????
By adding it to httpdocs folder, anyone can easily download it.


Thanks

1) create a directory in your httpdocs to put the access db file into.

2) open your IIS manager and go to the properties of your access db directory.

3) uncheck the 'read' option

let me know if it works

I'm assuming the /private folder is specifically for stuff like Access databases (ie. so your web app can still access it but so people can't download it).

i suppose that might work if you give an absolute path to the db file. has anyone actually tried that?
