Well for a (Microsoft) network, try:

\\COMPUTER_NAME\SHARE_NAME\PATH\TO\BIBLIO.MDB

Worth A Shot.

"App.Path" will give you the drive and directory of your executable.....

Yeap do this all the time. Here is my approach.

Add a start.bas

Global dbPath as string

Sub Main()
dbPath = "\\Computername\c:\data\data.dbm"

Ok anywhere in the project

set database = dbengine.opendatabase(dbPath)

Hope it helps
