C# UNC path to an Access database

[drepp]

I'm working on a C# ASP.NET app, and I'm having a problem with a connection string to an Access database. All of the examples I can find online se either server.mappath or the physical drive letter. However, all I have to work with in this case is a UNC path. What should the syntax for the connection string look like?

I tried "DATA Source=\\server\\dir\\dir\\file.mdb" but it keeps trying to resolve that down to "c:\server\dir\dir\file.mdb" as if the server was a directory!

So, please help! How do I get a UNC path to work as a data source path? I can do this in VB with "\\server\dir\dir\file.mdb", but I can't seem to figure out the similar code for C#.
