I was asking does the db that we are remotely modifying (which is an access application file) have to be running during the remote changes or is it enough that we have provided the full path name of the db for your code to access the file to modify it?.

I suppose I should just do it my self and answer my own question.

The BEST way to answer ANY question it to try it yourself. It's always AWESOME to answer your own questions. But... you shouldn't need to have the database open in Access in order to modify it. In fact, it's probably better that you don't.
