Server.MapPath isn't pointing to the actual server path when deployed

I put the server.MapPath code in ASP.NET VB code behind.

On my laptop i compile and build. However when i upload my web application to the actual server. I received error where the link is still referencing the laptop link.

How can i solve this issue?

My code is

Server.MapPath("./scorecardsheet/db.xls")

Actual server link is c:\Inetpub\vhosts\xxx.com\httpdocs\xxx\scorecardsheet\db.xls

but when i run the page on the server it shows the link of my development platform as c:\user\jerry\visual studio 2010\projects\xxx\xxx\scorecardsheet\db.xls

You probably want Server.MapPath("~/scorecardsheet/db.xls") instead, yes? Note the special ASP.NET tilde (~) symbol instead of the current directory symbol (.) This way it will calculate the relative path based on the location of the web site root wherever it is on the system.
