I am trying create a wed page in access 2003 to have viewed on the internet
by another department. But it is telling me to use (UNC) instead of a drive
letter, how can i give it a (UNC)

If you're currently using, say, G:\Folder\File.mdb, find out what the drive
mapping for G: is and use that instead: \\server\share\folder\file.mdb

Sorry, it's not really clear to me what it is you're saving. Hopefully
someone else will read this and pipe up.

Douglas Steele,

I understood what you said.

As far as I could tell, the original poster (juniorlee31) did not
understand your requests for information or your statements about the
path name.

Hopefully the OP can read what you posted again, and then either
rephrase his/her questions, or ask for clarification/expansion of
yours.

Sincerely,

Chris O.
