Database mapping and InfoPath question

Using Infopath with an access database as the back end data repository for lookups on the Infopath forms.
Users are in different areas of the company...some are mapped to the database using drive G: and others drive L:
When trying to access the form, they got an error dialog box.
Data Source
User Name
Password
Provider String
Open Mode DB_MODE_READWRITE

Is this because the users dont have access to the Infopath form, or the database.
 
Is there anything else on the error message?

I would guess that it is the connection to the database that is the issue - whether that is an ODBC error in general or in Infopath trying to connect to the db, I couldn't tell you

Always use full UNC names for connections though - never use maps

Rgds, Geoff

We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours but they all live in the same box.

Please read FAQ222-2244 before you ask a question
 
Thanks for the response. I republished it using the UNC name. I will know shortly.
