Re: dbase connection on a remote computer in lan

i don't think i mispelled any slashes, cause simply turning X into C on my local file works.. i also tried : $db_file = "///X:/DB/call_report.DBF"; $id = dbase_open ($db_file, 0) // open in read mode or die ("Could not open dbf file $db_file."); but it says : Could not open dbf file ///W:/call_report.DBF. help!
