ODBE connection over network drive

[lambert27407]

The project I am working on is a standard database tool(pull data from tables/add data to tables). I am unable to get access to a sql server so I am using an access dbs on a shared network drive for all of my tables(not ideal but its what im working with).

I can require everyone who will use the application to set that specific drive to a certain drive letter and have the connection setup as a local drive but what I would like to do is setup my connection so that it dose not reference a specific drive letter in my app.config file but to the network location which that drive letter would refer to.

Is this possible? If so how?

Please be gentle I am a very novice programmer.

If you do not want to use the direct path, then you would have to use a UNC path (providing your application supports this method), which is in the form of:
\\ComputerName\SharedFolder\Resource

I hope this helps.

If at first you don't succeed, then sky diving wasn't meant for you!
