Well
unless you know a special way to install the Access database, Access databases
can only be accessed on the machine it is on. If you want to have a database
on a different machine you need to use
SQL.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Cannot Get
External Access DB to work
Hi
all,
I've
been trying in vain for a few hours to get the External database connection to
work.
I've
successfully set-up the System DSN in NT. The actual db is on another machine
on our network which is also registered as a DSN of different name on that
machine. The reason for this is that I am running ColdFusion on the other
machine and am using the db for various aspects of a site. I am also intending
to integrate automated creation of email accounts on member subscription to
the web site.
I have
ensured that connections are valid between machines and indeed I am able to
add/update users in the external db using Imail administrator and vice
versa.
The
problem is that as soon as I try logging into the (testing123) account I have
set up, using either web based access, or Microsoft Outlook Express, the
username and password won't authorize so I can't receive any mail. Outgoing
seems to be fine as this is simply smtp.
I would
be very grateful if someone could help as we would like this up and running
asap.
Regards,
Dave
