MS Access help needed corrections

I want to connect an application from a client computer to a database on a
server who his another computer. I don't know how I can do a connection by
network to use a database on a server machine. I use SQL toolkit for Labview
6i. I guess I have to use something on ODBC administrator, but I'm not
familiarwith that.
Please help me

Ok Eric,
I'll try to help you to configure the ODBC that is probably the least documented topic on NI SQL Manual.
See the file attached and let me know what you think.

Your document was very detailed and easy to follow. The attached vi does just that for you. It can be used alone or [ut it into an app to run on first boot. You wont have to worry about all those steps ever again.

For a simple Access database that has no security options, first map a drive to the server that has the database (it has to be in a shared folder). Open the ODBC administrator from Settings>Control Panel. Choose System DSN tab. Click Add. Select Microsoft Access Driver. Click Finish. Assign a Data Source Name. Click the Database Select and browse until you find the database. If your company has a network administrator or database administrator, they should be able to help with some of the details. Access 97 also has some help. Every database's ODBC driver is a little different so connecting to SQL Server, Oracle, etc. will not be the same.
