ToonMariner Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 try it - see what happens - I very much doubt it though - there will be a few permissions issue somewhere along the line.

Jessica Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 No one said anything about a database, I think you confused a signature for a post.TRY IT and see what happens was the advice given.

Cep Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 You cannot do this, at least in terms of accessing a mapped network drive. You can set up a system or file DSN or some other connector (if it was a database like ODBC) if your accessing a particular file but you cannot list a directory in a non web server area of your server, Windows will throw a wobbly.
