Hai,

    I like to know how to access data from a *.csv file or MS EXCEL file from a network.........let me explain my problem in more detail...My system is connected to a network and in the same network one more machine has been connected,which I can access .Now I want to access the file which is in the second machine in the network and from that file, I have to extract data from certain columns and in the first machine I want to use Visual Basic 2008 to do this. Using the data ,I will process it in the first machine.So I need to access the file and read it across the network and no need of writing back.

    In certain forums I saw the code for accessing a file from the local directory,but I didnt find any solution for accessing a file across the network and one more thing is all the code which was given is not working in Visual Basic 2008,I am getting some exceptions.........So anyone can help me on this and provide a sample code for this problem..........



Thanks in advance...........

It is not helpful to read that you are “getting some exceptions.” There are so many that you could be getting that there is no way to address such a statement.

To access resources on a network is exactly the same as accessing resoures that are local. You specify the location of the resources. So rather than C:\MyData\MyResource, it might be \\MyServer\MyData\MyResources.

So describe the statements you are using, and which line raises errors, and what that error is (the message, not the number...).
