after I publish my application and run it it cannot find my database file
when I test it from the code that application connects to the database with :
constring = "Data Source=" & My.Application.Info.Direct
but when I publish it and try to run the published version I get an error and it says to check the path

You have to tell the publish process that you will use that. and that will be published.
Example, you sometimes work with local SQL databases but then when you deploy your application the database is running on the server. You don't need to include that on your project! If you really want you have to tell that.

Second, try Application.StartupPath instead of My.Application.Info.Direct
If nothing of this works, please post the complete code of the exception thrown.
