I think I found my answer, \\ if filepath, // is ExOleDb path. If you can stand one more question on this topic of URL binding
I can do file://./backofficestorage/domain.mydomain.com/MBX/inbox/ file://LocalHost/backofficestorage/domain.mydomain.com/MBX/inbox/ file://ServerName/backofficestorage/domain.mydomain.com/MBX/inbox/ but can I do file://RemoteServerName/backofficestorage/domain.mydomain.com/MBX/inbox/ where I'm trying to connect to a remote Exchange server in the same domain assuming I have permission and all, and that the mailbox I am trying to access is homed on RemoteServername? > Oops, my fault.
