ColdFusion datasource to a remote MS Access .mdb

Is there a way to create a ColdFusion datasource to a remote MS Access .mdb that I have read only permission that is on a company server? The .mdb is not on a web server. I have tried putting a new .mdb on my web server that has linked tables to the remote .mdb to no avail.

Thanks William!

If there is an UNC path and the user the the ColdFusion Service logs in as has permissions to the UNC path, then just use the UNC path in the DNS definition.

Just know that the default user that a ColdFusion Service is configure to use is the localSystem user which usually has no permissions to anything but, surprise, the local system.
