thanks alittlebitnumb. That's what I figured, but I've seen several places where (probably in the beta) the asp coders will write the dbpath as an html comment (for ease in debugging), but they don't remove it when the site goes live. Stupid if you ask me. I'm just not that familiar with the indexing techniques the search engines use and wasn't sure if they have a way of finding the info.

BTW, you can get pretty fast access times using dsnless connections... you just have to be sure to close them. And yes, the limit is 255 concurrent users, but as long as you're closing your connections you shouldn't have too much of an issue (depending on your site load).
