Answer 1

your DB needs to be on the server, not your local drive. If you HAVE uploaded the .mdb, then change the references from the absolute c:\\sites\\content........ to a relative ..(folder where the db is)(dbfilename).mdb

Answer 2

Is the .mdb file on ther server? If it is then make sure in you webconfig , or whereever you have a connection string set change it from C:\\Sites\\content\\mydatabase.mdb' to where it actually is
