VB.NET Database Sharing

[aviles1973]

I have a small network in my home with two computers and I have a small Database program written in VB.Net using ADO.Net connected to an Access(.mdb) database. The program has all the usual functions such as: Delete, New, Update, Refresh, Etc.

I have tried to share the database in My Network Places in its own folder then run the program on both machines connected to the same database. It seems that the connection to the database still resides on the main computers hard drive example....(c:\customers\database\customers.mdb) instead of as a shared database example..... (//mynetwork/sharedfolder/database/customer.mdb)

Should I share the program (can it work like that?)

What is the correct way to put the database on the Network to be shared by the program installed on each computer.

I forgot to ask one more question.......
I created the program as a windows app. Should I have created it as an asp.net app?

make sure you are changing the path to the DB in the application.

I did change the connection but that is one of my problems as well. I point to the database on MY NETWORK PLACES but the connection still shows that it points to c:\whatever\database.whatever.mdb
