re: how can i make my system network ready?

ei tnx for that info, but i already know how to configure my network connections. my problem is that i cant make my program made from visual basic6.0 be used by other site. (note: i have shared the program) :)

salamat!

re: how can i make my system network ready?

Cant you use the computer name, then the file location? I know that sounds vague coz im not too sure myself. I share files on my network, and i have a shortcut on my laptop which takes me to a folder on my desktop. The file location (according to my laptop) is :

\\CompName\FolderName

(the folder is shared, so it goes into the network, finds the CompName, then the FolderName)

so...make a shared folder on the main comp, place ur DB in that folder, and then on DB location in VB, type \\CompName\FolderName

If that doesnt make sence, let me kno

hey! tnx for all of your suggestions...
i have already found the answer.
by using "App.Path", there are no problems when i access my vb program in other sites...

tnx again!
salamat!

re: how can i make my system network ready?

it seems that ur vb application resides on one machine and u just shared it thru LAN. running your application remotely isnt a good idea, how abt installing it on every machine where ull use and just be sure to point the database connection on the computer where ur database file is located. MABUHAY!!!
