Trusting a location for Framework 2.x

I have a very simple Windows form application which opens a MS-Access
database and fails because I assume its an untrusted location on our Novell
Server. After looking through the Framework configuration tool under admin
tools in Control panel I don't see any method to make a location trusted.

This is my untrusted location
\\dat2\IPD\DEV\Shared\SandBox\KSG\CAS_Test_1

The code

' connection shorten for demo
Dim TheConnection1 As OleDb.OleDbConnection = New
OleDb.OleDbConnection("Data Source=NorthWind.mdb;" )
TheConnection2.ConnectionString = GetConnectionStr()
TheConnection1.Open()
Dim table As DataTable
table = TheConnection1.GetSchema("Restrictions")
Me.DataGridView1.DataSource = table

The test application is "signed"
Tried setting the demo to "Full trust"
Tried using the calc permissions

This entire test/demo project is for me to get familar with setting
permissions/

Thanks for any insight,
Kevin

Is this the wrong forum for this question?
Is the question understandable?

Have you tried adding a code group that uses URL evidence under the
LocalIntranet_Zone code group of the machine policy level? You should be
able to see this code group in the treeview if you expand the following
nodes: Runtime Security Policy \ Machine \ Code Groups \ All_Code.

That said, since this is a .NET 2.0 application, deploying as a ClickOnce
application might be a more attractive option. If you're interested in
learning about ClickOnce,

to start. For more in-depth information, see
