Hi,

Put your access database on a mapped directory, ie
"M:\TestDirectory\Test.mdb"

In your adoconnection, build your connection string to that directory
and you are all set.  (all subsequent adodatasets should use
adoconnection)

When working on your standalone system, use a subst command in dos to
mimic.   (ie subst m: c:\ )

This will get you started.

-Jerry
