I am converting an ASP.Net 1.1 app to ASP.Net 3.5. Apparently there is a security enhancement that doesn't allow asp.net 3.5 apps to reference folders lower than the application (i.e. ../Database) which is what we had done before to use an Access database. I would prefer not to get into a debate regarding why we're using Access instead of the Sql Server database (but there are valid reasons).
My question is: should we be ok adding an App_Data folder to the application and putting our databases there? (I ask because it seems like before it was dictated that they must be in the database folder at the root of the hosting account folders.
Thanks,
Robert
