[AccessD] Access database on the Internet

When you say you have an "Access FE connected to the same BE for the folks
in the office", I assume you have an private web host and its directories
are reacheable through a LAN.  If you're using a separate web hosting
service, you can connect an Access FE using a commercial package named
Webdrive($50/copy) that uses FTP and maps the web site root into the remote
machine as a drive letter.  I have an app in operation in which the
web-based mdb is updated using code in the local Access system.  There are
some gotchas associated with this operation.  John Frederick

I have an Access database BE to an ASP FE accessed by over 50 clients via
the web.  I also have an Access FE connected to the same BE for the folks in
the office.  I FTP the FE (Access and ASP) and BE to the directories when
changes have been made. The ASP files do reside in a separate directory, but
only to keep the ASP files together.
What did I miss?
Why can't Access be used as a FE when using ASP?

James, Drew, and Martin,

Well, your answers are all very clear: Access can only be used as the back
end on the GoreNet if one uses ADO and ASP to get at it. This is what I
needed to know. Thank you.
