Good afternoon,
I have an old application running on an NT server in an equally old NT domain. It is the last app I need to figure out how to make work on a new 2003 domain. Here's what I did: 1) Copied the application's folder to the new server, and ran the app. (It's an Access MDE) 2) When I try to do anything, like run the employee roster, it says it can not connect to \\server\share\some_database.mdb <file:///\\server\share\some_database.mdb> 3) I modified the hosts file so server is set to 127.0.0.1. If I ping server, it resolves "properly". If I try mapping a drive to \\server <file:///\\server> , however, I see the shares on the old server so I don't think my trick worked on UNCs. Any ideas how to make this work? I copied the DB the app is looking for into the same directory structure. It was written in 2000, and the developer is long gone. I don't see anything in the MDE that makes a call to the outside, but from what I understand, there is probably some VB code that I can't see/edit because of the format. I really hope I'm not handcuffed to an ancient network because of an ancient app!
