How to connect MS access Database on network for windows application

Hello

Not sure if you want a connection string or what...
But below this is how you connect to a MS Access Database

string connString="Provider=Microsoft.Ace.OLEDB.12.0;DataSource=databasename.accdb";

       
        public DataTable getAuthentication()
        {

            using (OleDbConnection con = new OleDbConnection(connString))
            {
      OleDbCommand cmd = new OleDbCommand("SELECT * FROM tableName", con);


                DataTable dTable = new DataTable();
                OleDbDataAdapter adapter = new OleDbDataAdapter(cmd);
                adapter.SelectCommand = cmd;
                adapter.Fill(dTable);

                return dTable;
            }
        } 

Then you can use the method somewhere...

In response to your comment - connect as per Anele's solution above, just make sure that DataSource= contains the full server path name to your shared database

Things to be wary of ...If you are going to use a drive mapping for your network location (e.g. g:\myData\myDatabase.mdb) then you will need to make sure that everyone has the same drive mappings,
or use the DNS name (e.g. \\myServer\MyShare\myData\myDatabase.mdb)
