Hi guys and gals…my question – how do you connect to an odbc data source with C# [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET)???

At the moment I’m connecting using this:

```php

OleDbConnection objConn = new OleDbConnection("Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0;"Data Source=path_to_db");

```

I’m having some folder restrictions with this command too when inserting data into a db so I guess I’m thinking that using a data source instead will irradicate this and also I need to know how to 🙂

Any help much appreciated…also to my knowledge its the same way you connect using [VB.NET](http://VB.NET)

cheers
