Florian,
the setup guide and help file are pretty clear as to what properties are
used to set the connection and which are used to read/get...
the fields to set are server and path .
the databasename is a read property
you'll have to parse the UNC back to a server and set server, and path and
set the path.
don't forget to set the protocol as well - have you read the getting started
guide? it's very clear
Alan
