Hello all, :)
directly here is the issue:
i want to choose the path to my database file for my DBdataset in a VB .net project during the runtime in the first form, and then i want to use that file in some other forms.
the file could be on another connected PC through a lan or internet.

so what is the method of controlling the path for any DBdataset in the project before establishing the connection for its file?

Thanks in advance,
