Connecting to Access through Infopath on Networked Computers

S

Shannon

Hello,

I have been using Access/Infopath to set up a database. Everything seems to
be find and running perfectly on my computer. I have published the
information to our shared folder where everything is stored.

When I try to run a query from another computer on the network it prompts me
to enter my username and password for the access database. I do so and it
tells me it can not find the database. I access the database just fine if I
try to acess it without using infopath.

Is there a way to turn this security function off or a way to get around
this? No matter what I do in infopath it will not let me access the database
through infopath on any computer but my own.

I would check your ODBC connection in Designer in the main data connection.

You may have used a particular drive letter that others do not have. I
would use the UNC path \\server\share\file.mdb so that it is universal to all
users. Also that you are using windows authentication to connect to it.

That would be my guess.
