asp_databases thread: Using Connection String for a web address


Message #1 by "Rod Aubertin" <webmstr@r...> on Tue, 18 Apr 2000 19:53:47
The problem I'm having is that I can do a database connection using the 

pathname but what I need is to use a web server path.



My database is sitting in the fpdb directory and when try to use



"DBQ=URL=fpdb/db1.mdb" I get an error, although if I use the full pathname 

I don't get the error.



Suggestions?

This isn't possible I'm afraid. DBQ has to come from a UNC path, so a local

or shared file sstem.
