asp_databases thread: Accessing A Database Through A Different Server
Message #1 by "Jared" <jwp@n...> on Thu, 15 Jun 2000 18:43:25

We are currently running IIS 4 on our web server and use DSN's to
connect to serveral Visual FoxPro databases which reside on the same web
server. What I would like to be able to do is have another server on our
network do the database crunching. I attempted to setup a DSN on the other
server but I didn't have any success accessing it from the ASP pages on the
web server. Is there any way that this can be done, and if so, how?
Thanks,
Jared

Using the Visual FoxPro driver on your NT server, You should be able to use UNC
notation (\\computername) to access a server. Accessing another server in SQL
Server is as easy as putting in the IP address of the other machine; you might
want to try that.

The DSN gets created on the IIS server and points to the VFP files on the
second server.
