  It still gives me an error : The SourceSafe database path sjohnd (logged user) does not exist. Please select another database.

  Any Other ideas how can I get the network path, Could you also explain me what is <identity impersonate="true" /> and when do I use it.

  Thanks alot,

  I think you might need to look into impersonation for this - if the user has access to the server this should work a treat - simply add this into the web.config

  <system.web> <identity impersonate="true" /> </system.web>

  Hope that helps

  Thanks for your quick reply,

  I am tring to do is access VSS database that is located on a diffrent server.

  The way I want it to work is when the user accesses the web application, it connect to the VSS database that is located on a server, and opens connection. I made it work if the user accessing VSS database from his local drive but when I am tring to access the vss db on the server , it says it cannot find the database.

  SourceSafeTypeLib.IVSSDatabase vssDb = new VSSDatabaseClass();

  vssDb.Open(@"\\dcitordev01\VSS\test\srcsafe.ini","john","");

  Thanks,

  Yes this is possible, but in what way do you want to access it Are you trying to access a file from the hard drive of the server, or do you wish to access a sql server on there

  The fact that its a web application does not matter (but you do have to be careful from a security point of view). You would access it in pretty much the same way as you would in a windows forms application.
