>Hi friends,
> We have developed an asp application for remote users which is installed on application server and the database is stored on another machine i.e. server located on lan. Whenever any remote user is trying to access the file using asp he gets the message cannot open file "\\192.168.0.45\d$\...'. We are using dsnless connection. When i use the dsnless connection from the application server using vfp it works.
