Connect to an access database in a remote directory using dao (VB6)

Question

I need to replace this structure:

dim base as dao.database
set base = opendatabase ("c:\path\name.mdb")

with another in which the .mdb is located in a server directory. I tried:

dim base as dao.database
set base = opendatabase ("\\server\folder\name.mdb")

but it did not work. I'm using VB6. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try

set base = opendatabase ("\\server\folder\name.mdb")
