Database File Cannot Be Found

Gary Heath asked:

I have been having trouble with a Database Table, in that I was updating it, yet when I looked in the ComboBox, the update wasn't showing up.

I have been told that it is probably because my Database was set to "Copy if Newer", so I have amended it to "Do Not Copy" but I am now getting a Build Error as follows ...

The database file cannot be found. Check the path to the database. [ Data Source = j:\Users\Gary\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\Projects\KA League Cup\KA League Cup\bin\Debug\KALC.sdf ]

The message isn't wrong, my database is not there, it is 2 Folders back (i.e. on the same path but without the "\bin\Debug" & that is what my Connection String says, so why is the program trying to look into the bin\Debug folder, which I guess is where it was stored when it was set to "Copy if Newer" ?!?!?

Help !!!
