Hi,
In C# the SqlConnection=
"data source=192.168. 100.100;uid=MyI D;password=MyPw d;database=ETCs erviceTest
";
and it is for SQL data connection.
Do we have some similiar method for accessing files in a paticular Windows
XP machine?
Thanks for help.

The windows file system allows file sharing under the control of the
machine's owner. Windows XP does not normally allow external access to the
files on that machine.
However, file sharing is enabled, and if you have permissions to the machine
(in other words, if you are listed in the Local Users or Local
Administrators group on that machine) then you can access files on the C
drive as:
"\\MachineName\ C$\mydirectory\ myfile" using normal methods for opening,
reading, and writing files (instead of SQL connect strings).

Thanks Nick.
But is it possible for using the C# code to get into the Windows XP folders
and access the files? given that we know the Account and Password?

Yes, assuming that the machine you are accessing the files FROM is on the
same domain as the machine with the files. If this is so, then impersonate
the user that has permissions, and simply open the file using the UNC
notation in the prior response.

Hello All,
After reading in this group about the preference for connecting to a SQL
Server using a connection string instead of a DSN file, I have done just
that.
BUT, I cannot update my data. I have gone back and forth between using a DSN
file and a DSN-less connection string and I have found the following issue.
When I utilize the DSN file to create the link, there is a step where it
asks me to identify a unique key for the file. If I...

failed.
How can I create the linked table permenant no matter what machine the
networked database is opened on?
