hi,

i've finished the infopath form connected to an access database both saved
in my desktop. now, i've published the infopath form in sharepoint (wss 2.0).
when my collegues try to open the infopath form, it prompts an error message
saying that the cannot be open because they're looking for the database. so,
i tried to upload or save the access database to sharepoint but unfortunately
mdb files are blocked.

now, i am thinking of saving the database in a shared folder so anyone who
wants to use the infopath form can open the form. but the problem is i dont
know how to change the address of database.

since the db is located in my desktop, the dataconnection in my infopath
form is located in C://... so if i changed the location of my database i also
have to change it inside the infopath.

can u help me how to change the dataconnection? same database but different
location of the database. thanks.

or is there any option to do this? thanks and regards.

Hi,

Where have you mentioned the connection settings? Are you using UDCx
files? If yes, you can modify desired UDCX file to make desired
changes.

Thanks,
