I am trying to access a databaste that is stored on a remote computer within my LAN network. So far I have assembled the following code:
If I try entering the IP address of the remote computer in conjunction with the database file path after "DBQ=", I get an error.
Can anyone help? Thanks in advance!

I did a bit of research and often come across "DSN connections" in order to access the database via LAN. Does anyone know how to do this? I also attempted to write client/server socket-based classes which establish a connection on a specific port. I can connect the two computers, I'm just not too sure where to put the database commands. This is a school project, so no major code is required.
