Using MDB File on Application Server

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have written a program which accesses a .mdb MS Access file from O drive (one of the external drives on my comp). The program works fine when run in foreground but, when run in the background the Application Server is not able to open the .mdb file. I m using ole2_object.

1. My questions is, can the application server (UNIX) be configured so that my program can directly access the O drive in the background also, just the way it is doing the foreground.

2. Is it possible to simply copy the .mdb file as it is on Application server using a unix shell script and access it from program without changing the extention.

Will give points to the right answer. Thanks.
