you should just set sql server in a way it can be accessed from remote pc in your network
for settings... follow below steps

step 1: follow steps given in this link [For access sql database remotely(from different pcs)]
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277[^]

step 2: after step 1 complete then change connection string's parameters,
datasource = server-name OR IP-Address [which is in sharing now after step 1] ; [For ip address cmd > ipconfig -it will show ip address]
Initial catalog = your database name ;
UserId = sql server - user login Id ;
Password = sql server - user login password;

Happy Coding!
:)

You don't install SQL server in a specific folder - you install it in a specific machine. It then makes itself available to the various clients that want to connect to it, it does not need a shared folder (and shouldn't have one for safety reasons).

It's a software application: you install it on a machine like any other software, the other computers then talk to the software directly, not via a folder. The only things you may need to do to access it is ensure that any firewall software you are using is set up to open the ports it is using.
