Database Alias Path - UNC?

Hi all.

I've tryed to use UNC ( Universal Naming Convention ) on Database Alias
Path, but I get a error.

Is this possible?
I wanna install an application, where the database file ( MS Access ) will
be on server.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards,

                    Joaquim.

I am not familiar with Alias Path?   Is that a reference to the AliasName
property?

If you are using a Tdatabase you can set the Database Name parameter using UNC
to be the full path and filename to the .mdb file.
