Hi,

I recently learned that after uploading an asp.net website that the .mdf file can be read and written too even though it was not attached to the data base server.  When I upload the files for a DNN 4.07 website to the production server how can this behavior be modified.  When I use the SQL upload wizard and make a .sql file,  then run the script on the production server it install fine,  no errors.  But the website still updates the .mdf in the app_data folder.  Not the MDF I created with the script that is attached to the database engine.  How would this mess up managing my DNN website's DATABASE  when I upload it?  I'm not a DBA so I'm clueless,  yet it's Christmas day and here I am trying to get this working.  Perhaps it's a different web.config connection string that will do it?  The XP machine and the Windows2003 both are running SQL2005 express.

<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|DNN12_24_07.mdf;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

Any pointers would be much appreciated.

Thanks
