I have created an asp.net 2.0 application that access dBase IV files and when these are on my development machine I have no access problems.

However when I modify my connection string to access the files on a network server I am getting problems.

The folder containing the dbase files is a sub folder which is situated on the d drive of the server. The folder is shared, which the folder name, and access is granted to 'Everyone'.

my connection string is:

When I excute the application I am getting the error:

System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: '\\Ntserver1\Goldmine\GMBase' is not a valid path.  Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.


Can anyone help me with this
