Can't link to a site in in My Network Places
I've got a remote web drive connected in 'My Network Places' that I'd like
to assign a drive letter to. The right-click menu does not have 'Map Network Drive'. I've tried setting the Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoNetConnectDisconnect to both 0 and 1, and neither setting makes it appear. I can bring up the directory fine with Windows Explorer, and access all the files, but I have no way to access them within a program like MS Access. If I try the 'Map Network Drive' under the Tools menu, the 'OK' button always remains grayed out when I choose it from the Browse list. How can I do this?

That is, in fact, what I'm trying to do: Link a database on a remote server
to MS Access. It appears that it isn't possible. Do you have a suggestions? "Arvin Meyer [MVP]" wrote in message ... Your question may be better answered in a newsgroup appropriate to your problem.

You need to map a drive to the back-end (tables) on the server or use the
UNC path. You cannot use a web address or use a web server unless it is on your LAN. -- Arvin Meyer, MCP, MVP http://www.datastrat.com http://www.mvps.org/access http://www.accessmvp.com "victorcamp" wrote in message ...
