    Connection to a remote Access database require RDS which is a obsolete feature (according to MS). You can't just throw in the server path on your local application because it will look in the E Drive on YOUR computer not ours.

    Hi

    I need the path (for my connect string) so that my VB program running on my laptop (windows XP) can connect to and open my microsoft Access database which is on your file server.

    I tried using "E:\web\perpetualpr\htdocs\webpage_data.mdb" but it said that this is an invalid path.


    PLEASE help!

    Thanks much
    -Doug

    So there is NO way to query/update an access database on the server from a client application?

    You could use webservices for that purpose
