    Question Declaring network drives question

    Can anyone help.

    In the following statement where I declare the source database, I want to put the full path of the network drive and not just the letter. There is a good reason for this.


    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
    db.open "PROVIDER=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=G:\Developers\SCR Database\SCRsystem.mdb;"
    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    Unfortunately it doesn't seem to like my syntax !

    The full path for drive G is "\\nantserv\depts\it"

    I even tried putting an IP address in front of that as well, but to no avail.

    Can anyone let me know where I am going wrong ?


    Thanks in advance.

    Get these: Mozilla Opera OpenBSD
    I have books for sale: "MCSD in a Nutshell" and "VB Distributed Exam Cram" - PM me for details. Will also trade for a decent ATX Pentium 2 MB/CPU/RAM combo.
