VFPOLEDB Connection object does not open in Windows service

[hemantn]

Hi,

I am using windows service created in VS 2008 and
using Connection string to connect VFP Container (DBC file) which is kept on different machine , i am specifying the below path

Provider=VFPOLE DB.1;Data Source=//192.168.1.2/data/FolderName/my.dbc;exclusiv e=False;Collati ng Sequence=MACHIN E"
I am Using the different machine IP address and then folder path in the string . Now this Service exe does not open the connection, it gives the error "Invalid Path or File Name"

Could some one please help to resolve the issue

THank you very much in advance

Prehaps it does not support remote connections like that?
It could just be an issue with the permissions that your service runs under.

Says you can use an ODBC connection, try making a system connection in ODBC and then using that as your connection string?
