Path Specification In Connection String (VB.NET)

Hi

At thhe start of my Application's Module I have the following code:

Public sPath As String

When my application starts, I have the following code:

sPath = Application.StartUpPath
 
My Connection String looks like this:
         QtCon.ConnectionString = "Provider=Microsoft.Ace.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\Mayibuye\Quotations.accdb"

Now for obvious reasons, when I deploy the Application, I need to include the definition of Path into this connection. When I use sPath immediately after DataSource=, then I get an error with the following description:

"Format Of The Initialisation String Does Not Conform To Specification."

I am sure there must be a good (or better) way of doing this. Can somebody help me please.

I am Using VB.NET (Visual Studio 2008) under Windows XP Pro.

Thanks
