    Just starting out looking into Open Access and have one question.  Can you over ride the database connection out side of the dll?

    When making a code library you set up a db connection.  But then when you deploy that dll into another project, is there a way to change that connection in say the web.config file?

    Will a connection string in the web.config file with the same name over ride the one made in app.config in the code library?  Or is this connection string always hard coded into the dll?

    Ok, most excellent, this is exactly what I was wondering, this will make deploying without rebuilding the class library for multiple sites.  Thanks a bunch!

    Hello Majid,

    please verify that the connection name is indeed 'DatabaseConnection' in the web.config file and not 'DatabaseConnection1' (which is the default).
