There a defusion.com article on this too.. You basically have to make CF
run under a seperate account, an account that has permission to access that
share on the other machine.
Out of curiosity, is seems that what you are attempting to do is a little
strange. What is the reason you feel the need to do this? Access is a
desktop database, not really meant for use in highly scalable environments.
Putting it on a seperate machine is not going to make that problem go away.
By the time you get enough traffic to warrent seperating the CF and DB
servers, Access would be complete toast.
