I have an Access 2003 database installed in the database folder on our web site. How can I best modify my VB6 program to obtain the data from this file instead of from C:/ drive?

Thanks. We'll let you know when a new response is added.

Unless there is more to the problem than you’ve stated, either change your OpenDatabase command to the correct path:

Set OpenDB = OpenDatabase(“x:\path”)

or change the location of the database in the Data control.

    Maybe I was not clear in my question. I am a newcomer to access web based databases. The Access database is located on a web site: http://www.(mywebpage).com/database/(mydatabase).mdb The application program (VB6) is installed on several local PC’s For example if I use the Data Control access, I get a messages “Illegal file name” Using OpenDatabase also produce an error.
