Hi all,
First, i must say i didn't work with WinNT ...
I wanna know what is different between below ways to connecting to the database in server:

1- Using of file path:
\\\\Servername\\directory\\file.mdb
2- Using of connection string:
DBQ = ... SERVER = ... and ...

My second question is about DSN ...
I know data source in server can be DSN file or MDB file ... So why i must use DSN ?

My Third question is about CDaoWorkspace ...

on connecting to an MDB you will not use the server name, just the path to database. John Fill
