Question access in win8

[filistor]

Hello all, i have deployed in the past a project in vb.net (net framework 3.5) and win.7 in which i used access as database and everything worked fine. When i tested the program in win.8 even though the program behaves as it should, the changes aren't saved in the database in the program files(even though i give the app elevated privileges) and run the program in compatibility mode. Does anyone have any idea where the actual access file is stored?I found a copy of the db in a folder called virtual store but it didn't contain the changes either. Thank you for your time and i apologize if it has been asked before.
