Accessing Remote FoxPro table

Accessing Remote FoxPro table

am 05.07.2006 15:51:01 von Matthew Laping

In a nutshell, I'm trying to access a FoxPro table in a Classic asp
application that is located on another server, but I'm getting the
[Microsoft][ODBC Visual FoxPro Driver]File 'table.dbf' does not exist. I'm
in the process of upgrading to a new machine, but was able to get it to work
with the old one. The old machine is a Win 2000 server with IIS 5. This is a
intranet server, and security was not a huge concern, so the only way I was
able to get it to work was by doing the wrong things. Anyway, IIS is
configured to use the domain administrator account for Anonymous access. I
also used the domain administrator account for IIS Out-of-Process Pooled
Applications. Does IIS use any other account or does it need to be set in
multiple locations? I was able to use the same DSN in a vbscript
environment, so I know it has to be in the IIS environment that is causing
the issue.

Below is an example of my file DSN:
[ODBC]
DRIVER=Microsoft Visual FoxPro Driver
UID=
Deleted=Yes
Null=Yes
Collate=Machine
BackgroundFetch=No
Exclusive=No
SourceType=DBF
SourceDB=g:\WORKAREA\LOOKUPS

G: is a mapped drive on another server

Thank you,

Matthew

Nevermind all...I got it, you have to use the UNC path

\\server\volume\directory\
