correct me if i am wrong (i am not a .Net developer in any way), but
doesn't your .Net code expect you to provide the path to the db as well?
or is Session(DBpath) some variable automatically created by .Net?

I dislike .Net but it certainly was simple there. It took 3 lines:
db = Session(DBpath) myDB.mdb
Dim myFile as FileInfo = New FileInfo(db)
Dim ModDate as Date = myFile.LastWriteTime
That makes it look like the path was really just in a Session var in .NET; is

You are correct. I made an assumption that was incorrect and now realize that
it was the same issue in .Net.
For what its worth, I have decided to base the file location on the relative
location from my website root. That is not likely to change while the ISP could

If you know the absolute path to the DB
You can just set a global var that holds that path.
Of course that isn't the most graceful solution, but I'm not sure if
there is a way to programmatically determine the absolute path of an
Access DB used in a CF datasource.
If the DB won't be moving

You need access to the database...
Open the database
Go to tools--Options
Check the box under *show* that says *system Objects*. You will notice that
several new tables appear in table view with the prefix MSys -
MSysAccessObjects,
In your query you might want to
SELECT Max(UpdateDate)
Sorry =)

I do know the absolute path but the whole idea was to make it work correctly
even if something might change. I was looking for a more elegant solution!

CF has file|path several functions that might help you here.
expandPath() might do something.

I figured as muchwrap it in a try/catch and handle that eventuality
as needed.
