• Can I put the database file (.mdb) inside the EzWeb Compiler file?

NO.  The ODBC/OLEDB database driver for any database won't know how to read/write to an EzWeb Compiler file.  that is why the database file must not be inside your .hsp file.  You must build a path to the database file using Server.MapExternalPath.

• Should I put the .site file inside the EzWeb Compiler file?

NO.  The .site file is only for developing/testing your webpages outside of the EzWeb Compiler file, so HSP can locate the root of your website - for building paths with Server.MapPath and #include.  When running from an EzWeb Compiler file, the root of the site is always the root of the internal file.

• What about Global.asa?

Global.asa is not supported in by HSP - it will not be called.  Therefore you must put any startup code in your entry page (eg. default.asp).
