you can use Application.UserAppDataPath[^] for this purpose. You need to place your mdb in the respective folder. go throgh the url you will find all the details and sample.

Place your database in bin/Debug folder then access it like this ==>

C#

private String ConStr = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" + "Data Source=Product.mdb;Persist Security Info=False;";
