How do you create a virtual connection string, so that the application will
always look in the local folder where it's stored? This is for vb.net.
Thanks for all replies.

Could you explain what you mean by "local folder"?

I would recommend using an App.Config file:

Click to expand...

System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(System.Windows.Forms.Application.ExecutableP
ath)
Will give you the path to exe file, use it when creating connection string.
