Hi,

May be you can try using ADODB recordset.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
Dim con As ADODB.Connection

Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
 
Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset

Set con = New ADODB.Connection

con.ConnectionString = "provider=microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0;data source=\\wangmod2\Database\Col AMS.mdb;" & "Jet OLEDB:Database Password=compaq"

con.Open

rs.Open "SELECT Username From Login;", con, adOpenDynamic, adLockOptimistic
 
...

....

rs.close

con.close

try this and let me know if you face problems.

This type of code, you have to create exe for each time when the database path changed.
Write connection string in text file and read it from there. This will be easy.
