Application with Database

I'm a young novise, trying to make my first aplications for a P900 that uses an Access database. I am confused about the names in the P900 file manager.
When I transfer an aplication I'm asked to install it on the C or the D drive.
I answer D: When I (afterwards) get may aplication to tell me where it is (app.path...) it returns D:\system\app\MyAppName\
When I inspect the P900 file system I can not find anything like this. I only find (on level 1 ) Phone memory (in Norweegian) and Memory Stick
I guess that D: is the memory stick. But on the next level I find the folders Audio, Dockument, Image, Other, and Video.
I have a Database in Memory Stick\Dockuments\Unfiled\MyDatabase.mdb.

ANY IDEAS HOW TO CONNECT TO / OPEN THIS DATABASE FROM THE APLICATION.
(Normally (on PC) I put may database in the same folder as the VB app. an then use the app.path.. to connect.... )

PLEEAASEE!!! Any GURUS out there????

D is well the memorystick drive
You are using the embedded file browser, which offers very poor set of functionnalities. You need to use an other file manager to browse all your drive (s).
