Hi Sakti,

use DSN connection.. kind follow the step below..

1st step..
place the db on any machine on lan.. share out the folder for public access with read & write permission set on..

2nd step..
create ODBC connection on client machine.. point the db path properties to the shared folder path location..

3rd step.. the sample code segment..
lest assume your ODBC connection is named (MyTestODBC).. ok..

Requires project reference to Microsoft ActiveX Data Objects 2.x Library

Dim oConnection     As ADODB.Connection
Dim oRecordset      As ADODB.Recordset
Dim sMsg            As String
Dim sConnectString  As String
Dim sSQL            As String
 
sConnectString = "DSN=MyTestODBC Data;OLE DB Services=-2;"
sSQL = "SELECT Name FROM Employee"
Set oConnection = New ADODB.Connection
Set oRecordset = New ADODB.Recordset
 
oConnection.Open sConnectString
oRecordset.Open sSQL, oConnection, adOpenStatic, adLockOptimistic
sMsg = "**********************" & Chr(10)
Do While (Not oRecordset.EOF)
    sMsg = sMsg & oRecordset.Fields("Name") & Chr(10)
    oRecordset.MoveNext
Loop
sMsg = sMsg & "**********************" & Chr(10)
MsgBox sMsg
 
oRecordset.Close
Set oRecordset = Nothing
oConnection.Close
Set oConnection = Nothing
