I have successfully created a DAP in Access 2000 but I can't get it to point to the db on a server, except as a local file. That is, if I tell the DAP that the Data Source MDB file is at "C:/ ... " on the server, then it works just fine, but then the DAP can't be used over the internet, and if I tell the DAP that the Data Source is "//802.23 ... " then the DAP comes up over the internet but won't connect to the MDB file. I get a message saying "invalid path" & I've tried every path construct I can think of with no joy.

Other files on the same server are readily accessible using similar paths, but they have the "http:" at the start --- I've also tried this in the DAP but it doesn't work either.

SO ... my question is how the dickens do you get a DAP on a server to point to the db on the server so the DAP can be used over the internet?

thanks for any help.
