    I'm trying to access a *.dbf (foxpro) db from an ASP app, and it works just fine as long as it exists on the same machine as the web files exist (running in IIS 5.0). However, whenever I try to connect to a dbf file across the network on a different machine, I get this:

    Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E37)
    [Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]File '******.dbf' does not exist.

    Thanx in advance..

    maybe change the location that you hit it - intead of X:\folder\filename.dbf (X: is a mapped drive maybe) try hitting it via \\MachineName\sharedFolderName\filename.dbf

    otherwise, maybe you can create a folder-watcher script or app that when the db changes, it pushes the dbf file to your box - so you can always hit it locally?
