Hi, I tried to connect to a network shared folder (actually i share my access db in the network) but i couldn't make it connected unless i map it in every pc that will use my prog. i am trying not to map it for some other reasons. What I'm trying to say is upon loading my startup form or my application, the network authentication window should appear first just like when you do "RUN", "\\IPAddress\SharedFolderName$\dbname.mdb".

Rgds...
