I have PWS in a Win98 PC conected to the LAN, and I put in the server (inetpub/ my intranet site and a ACCESS database (.mdb). The site works fine but the Data Access Pages give me an error saying that can not find the path.... This error only occur in the other PC's of the LAN, not in my PC.
I check all the tips on the ACCESS help, but without any success.
Could anyone help me ?
 
Well I might have an answer to your question...

I've worked with DA Pages before, i have success getting it to work over and intranet, but when I go to set it up on the internet it doesnt find the database.

If your doing it for an intranet (LAN), its simple just go access your page go and change the source to recognize the UNC of the server you prolly had it set to c:\myweb\mydatabase.mdb (what that does is it makes it look local and not on the network.) Like on mine for an @home network, my UNC was c7198-e. Yours might be different, but what u need is a web publishing service like ISS (NT or 2000 server) or Web Publishing Manager (Win 98 and above). Further more you will also have to know the directory of your virtual drive you created. I would put in the path of mine
\\c7198-e\greenfield\greenfield.mdb. Even though my virtual directory is in the root directory. It would be located somewhere on your root example (c:\inetpub\webpub\greenfield <--- do not use this path name). This might solve your problem. If you need any other help just go to and go to their Knowledge base they have plenty of help there.

If anyone out there knows how to setup a Data Access page over the Internet let me know at cmdr.kane@home.com. I need to get paid so i can buy a car.
