Server.MapPath question

[Phonez]

Does anyone know if it is possible to use physical addresses instead of a virtual one for the Server.MapPath property.

I am trying to let users select their own databases on their machines and query them. At the moment it says I cant do this.

Any ideas? apart from converting the string recieved into a virtual one which will take time.

I have not understood how can you give the users database access on their machines ?

No, you can't write scripts on your server, and then access a client's database with those scripts (unless they upload the db to your server, of course).

I am planning to do it over the staff intranet. They can always upload them into the directory

All I will need to do then is grab the database name from the full path or select all files from the directory and print them out and let them choose one
