Hi,

sorry for delay ..........

Some of the hosting control panel allow to create secure folder but generally it can be do by hosting company guys manually so please submit support ticket there.

2, If you database path is changed in the local computer then you have to change it as your web server. you have to change it manually in your code.

In thismap path is the best way.

3.If your control panel allows DSN then you have to create Access database in the control panel and after that create DSN.

After DNS you don't need any path just use DSN in the code.
