I have a vfp com object that supplies data from an intranet foxpro database (free tables) to a web page. To get through the firewall I have to use the foxpro oledb provider and in the connect string I have to spacify the data source as an ip addess with a port number. (I'm not allowed to set up a DSN) The firewall then translates that address to the real addess and gives me access.

I'm fine, I think, with the IP address

Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,pppp

where pppp is the port number, gets through Ok but then I have to identify where the data is on the server. I have tried

Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/sharename/foxfolder,pppp

and as many variations as I can think of but every time I get an invalid file location response.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Andrew
