Row source path to external DB

I am using Office 2003 on Windows XP.

I am trying to set the row source for a FORM to a backend database. Can this
be done? If so, I am assuming I need to enter the path to the other file in
the row source, can someone tell me what the syntax is? I can't get it right.

Thanks.
 
You'd be far better off creating a linked table that points to the table in
the backend database, or a query that gets the data from that database and
use that as the recordsource.
