Hello folks, I am trying to access a dBase III file on a network share via
VB.NET code. For some reason it does not recognize the location as a network
file in the OLEDb connection object. I keep getting this error:

'\\Mike_desktop\avalon projects\FullData' is not a valid path. Make sure
that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the
server on which the file resides.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Mike

Mike,

I have seen similar problems before with path names due
to the space in the folder name. Try replaceing the
space with an underscore and see if that resolves the
problem.
