Saving data to database problem

[Bisto]

Hi,
I have set my database properties to "Copy if newer" but I have a problem. When I save the data on my windows form, I can access it from the program. However, when i open up the backend database, the data that I thought had been saved, infact has not. The data must be saved somewhere as I can still access it when I run the program again.

Regards,
Bisto

You arent opening the correct database. The developemnt database is copied out when the exe is built (hence the word Copy, in "Copy if Newer")

Open the db in the bin\debug or bin\release folder that your app has edited, not the development copy that it hasnt edited.


If youre confused, search your hard disk for ALL occurrences of the database file, and look in each of them.. Youll figure out what's going on..
