I'm trying to access a database on a different server. The location of the database on the other server is a mapped drive. The vortex script is giving me the following error:

<!-- 002 /search:400: can't open f:\boarddb: Permission denied in the function ddopen -->
<!-- 000 /search:400: Could not connect to f:\boarddb in the function openntexis -->

Should I be able to connect to this database?

That will depend on whether the account that the webserver is running as (typically IUSR_machine) has permission to access network drives.

Could we possibly access the database if it's located in a virtual directory?

Maybe, I'd need to check into exactly how permissions work on Windows, as that is where the issue arises.
