External Data Access Requirements

Before you can connect your application to a remote data source, you must make sure that the remote data is accessible to your application’s users and that your application is properly designed to handle remote data source security challenges. You must also make sure that your application interacts correctly with case-sensitive data sources and that the IISAM driver is correctly initialized for the data source you want to access. Finally, you must check, especially when converting existing Microsoft Access or VBA code, that your code doesn’t use objects or methods that are specific to Microsoft Jet data sources when accessing non-Microsoft Jet data sources.
