path over network

Can someone tell me how to set a path over a network?
I have a database which has to be accessed from another computer. When I set
path in connection string, it fails to connect. Example
path=//Main/C/Program Files/Program/db.mdb

this seems to be invalid path. Maybe there is a problem with backslashes?

Your slashes are just slashes, try backslaches instead:

connectstring = "path=\\\\Main\\c\\program files\\program\\db.mdb"
