Hi Curt:
Access can definitely be used from .NET ;-). Have you verified that you an
open it manually? If so, then create copy the Db to your local machine to
like the C:\ drive and create a desktop app. Then use the DataAdapter
connection wizard, it will ask you for a connection, set it up to point ot
the local file on C and test the connection. It should connect. If it does,
then it's most likely a permission problem. If not, then the DB is the
problem, maybe its corrupted (although if you can open it manually then it's
not a corruption).
Let me know.
