It works fine on a standalone PC with PWS installed - its when i have to copy it to the LAN (and therefore change the path of the data source).

Every time i change the path to the new path on the LAN it complains.....I'm not sure if theres any way I can change the syntax because by default, on the LAN, it always looks in a default dir..no matter what path I change it to - it just adds it onto the end of this default path c:\winnt

This helpfull?! I'm desperate!
