Hello,

I have developed a VB6 application which uses Access2000, it was originally designed for use on a single terminal only. The application was coded so that on installlation it creates a directory on the hard drive (C drive) where it places the Access database, which is to be read by the VB6 application. I had a client make an urgent request to have the program networked between two terminals. I wish to do everything humanly possible to avoid changing every single statement in my program which points to the C drive (so that it looks at their network drive), aside from that, I also have around 70 crystal reports (Version 4) that will need to be re-done. There is an enourmous amount of work to be done if I cannot find a simpler solution.

Is it possible to have the second terminal using the first terminal's hard drive and also recognising that directory as C (the first terminal can act as a server)????? If so, how can it be done?? OR is there a better solution.

Thank You [sig][/sig]
