Problems with my Service and ODBC

[Nijazi Halimaji]

Hi newsgroup

I have some problems with my service which is using ODBC-Connections.

My service is executed as a local system (I tried already every other
account type, even the domain-admin)

If the database i am accessing with odbc is stored on my local hard disk,
then I have no problems.

But when this database is stored on an network drive (The security of the
drive is set to everyone with full access), the I cannot access... a time
out occurs...
Some ideas?

Could you make a simple Windows Forms app to test the connectivity to the
database outside your service to remove it from the scenario?

Hi

I made this before and everything worked! Even when the database was in a
network drive...

Then, can you install and run the service with the same (interactive) login
username/password that you used for the Windows Forms application to see if
that makes a difference? It could be a permissions problem.
