made to an access DB was if the Access DB was on the same machine as
where you were trying to make the connection � I have tried to connect
to DBs on a mapped drive and that was not even good enough
Sorry,

Subject: MS Access Datasource
Hello,
I am trying to setup an Access ODBC datasource (dsn) on a server other
than my CF 5.0 Professional Edition application server. I have tried to
connect via a mapped drive (e.g. p:\databases\...) as well as a UNC
\\server-name\share-name\... Neither work.
I can copy the .mdb file to my CF 5 app server, set up a new datasource
name and all is well, but then again, this sort of defeats the
purpose...
So, here are a couple of thoughts/questions at the moment:
The app server lives in a domain controlled by the IT group (domain =
IT_apps_etc...); The database to which I am trying to connect lives in a
domain controlled by the software group (domain = rocksoft_etc)
I have tried swapping the owner of the CF service from LocalSystem to my
own account on the app server but no luck there either... generally
trying
to follow the instructions in the CF 5 help - connecting datasources
documentation.
Any input appreciated,
Mike
