Sorry I thought the problem was in using the word database rather than file.
I notice that you are putting in the TCP/IP address of the hosted file. I
don't think this is necessary.
I have a few scripts that open 'hosted' files over our network and they are
all done using just the filename and the above 'file' rather than 'database'
reference.
Hope this helps.
