Hi,
My question relates to the 'address' that can be used to find a central databse that is stored on a server.
I have never owned a server, so I am very ignorant in that area.
I have a vb6 application that uses(from an INI file) the 'address' where the database is located -
LeadsJobsPath=\\sg-server\JobReg\
That has been working for a few years.
A new server was installed, and the folders were copied across to the new server.
The technician gave the new server a different 'address' as the two were running simultaneously whilst migrating -
LeadsJobsPath=\\sg2-server\JobReg\
The program (which runs on local pcs) crashes when it attempts to find the new server.
If I use the address bar in Windows Explorer, I can navigate to the old server.
If I try the same with the new 'address' it cannot find it.
The technician is gone (only there to put in the new server).
Could someone advise me how that new address should be setup ?
The technician actually told me the new name so he has 'put it' somewhere. I just assume that he has not 'gone the whole 9 yards'

Thanks,
Rob
