I need some help. I want to open one Access DB that is on my network, but the only way I know is mapping the server drive as a logical unit on the client machine. This method uses NETBEUI protocol, and I need to open the Database over TCP/IP protocol. It means, I dont want a logical mapped drive, instead I need to open the database through out one IP address (255.255.234.234, by example). Thanks.

No matter which protocol you use you would still map to the db via either a mapped network drive or the named path to the db. i.e. \\servername\foldername\databasename or by mapping a drive letter to this path (or at least to the server's root).
