file references not working across network...

[chasm24]

I host a database on an internal network and all my users access the database remotely and interact with it throughout the day. to keep the size of the database down, I insert file references (rather than the files themselves) into container fields from the host computer. When accessing the database remotely, however, when i try to download the file in the container field, it says that it cannot find the file. any idea how i might fix this?

thank you for your help.

The path to the reference must be same from your remote location as from inside your lan. Which may be hard or even insecure to pull off...
