Read/write external database properties returns error over network

[Alp Bekisoglu]

Hi Experts,

For quite sometime I had been using a "home-brew" utility application to
read/write/update/modify individual external database properties. On the
local files there still is no problem but when I try to use it over the
network recently I started getting "...database is not recognized..." sort
of error. This error is occuring at the external db reading stage.
The code behind the form (partial) is:
......
Dim selected As DAO.Database
Dim info As String
fldr = Me.filename <<<= this control worksby GetOpenFileName()
info = ""
Const conPropNotFoundError = 3270
Set selected = OpenDatabase(fldr)
On Error GoTo ntfound
.......
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
