Foxpro database connectivity Urgent Help please

[smtwtfs007]

I have an ASP.NET website.
I'm trying to connect to a Foxpro database (ADO.NET) with the
following
connect string:

txtConnectionStr.Text = "\\soya4042\Qd\LM\LMS\Data"
Dim strFoxProDirectory As String = txtConnectionStr.Text
Dim strConnection As String = "User ID=;DSN=;Cache
Authentication=False;Data Source='" & _
Trim(strFoxProDirectory) & "'" & _
";Provider='VFPOLEDB.1';Collating
Sequence=Machine;Mask " & _
"Password=False;persist security info=False;"
& _
"Mode=Share Deny None;Extended
Properties=;Encrypt Password=False"

If I put the same string in a VB.NET the connection string works fine.
Do you have any other suggestions?

I can open the network path and read the files in my windows explorer
\
\soya4042\Qd\LM\LMS\Data

Invalid path or file name.

Hi!

The account the web server runs under needs to have network permissions to
the directory where the DBFs are stored.

Also, the basic connection string for VFP OLE DB is
"Provider=VFPOLEDB.1;Data Source=....". Everything else you have is the
default.
