I agree with what ALEX has said. I just wanted to add a little more - You are trying to use the hidden shares to access the database, this could create problems if your network security does not permit use of hidden share folders. Try to give a valid share name instead.



>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.
