Jan,
You may need to put '\\' in front of the ip address . I've never used ip addresses but use unc names all the time. Your problem is going to be that performance will be absolutely terrible.

With the ability of the Extreme 9.0 compiler to include all forms and reports and application extras including external forms, it seems to me that it would be possible to connect to a a database anywhere in the world and retrieve and manipulate the data with the exe located elsewhere. My question is, what would the CONNECT look like? CONNECT XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX\databasefolder\dbname Just wondering. Jan
