Can't determine which database is updated

Can't determine which database is updated

I have a microsoft database in my project. Versions of it are in debug, release, and the folder with all the forms and other files.

I have the compile properties set to release.

If I run the project from visual studio, the debug copy is updated.

If I run by double-clicking the release version, the release copy is updated.

If I add or change a table, the configure dataset with wizard won't recognize it unless I use the copy with all the forms85 and other files.

How do I resolve this?

Hi,

During development it is good to compile your application with the configuration set for Debug. In that case, it will always use the MDB file within the debug folder.
As for the Configure Dataset, you need to check the Data Connection in Server Explorer and change that path as well to Debug folder.
