I'm using the latest version of Trimble Positions Desktop Add-in. I found on the Trimble Positions blog that it is possible to share a Jet database between users on different desktop machines in different locations. So I created a Jet database, moved it to a location on our network, and used the Configuration Tool to set my ODBC source to the new location of Jet database. Here's the link to the blog post I'm referring to: http://positionsblog.trimble.com/?p=70 (second to last paragraph).

My problem is that when I log off of my computer and log back in, the Trimble Positions Office Database fails to reconnect and I get the following error message:

[ATTACH=CONFIG]25343[/ATTACH]

I noticed in the blog post that I need to be using a UNC path with the Jet database. I tried to input this using the Advanced button on the ODBC Microsoft Access Setup screen (below)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]25344[/ATTACH]

and then inputting it as the Default Directory (below)

[ATTACH=CONFIG]25345[/ATTACH]

but this didn't seem to change the path of the Jet database, and I still receive the error message.

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Figured this out. The UNC path needs to be in the "Database Name" field on the Select Database screen within the ODBC setup applet.
