question. I see the FTP options you're referring to in the browse window
in Linked Table Manager, but that looks like the general purpose browse.
If you have a permanent circuit, you could use a package named Web Drive
(commercial for about $50). It maps an FTP site into your machine as a
drive letter. You have to set up the connection manually, as I
recall. When you refer to it in Windows Explorer, it brings the directory
over into a local cache. If you reference to the mdb, it apparently copies
the entire mdb into the local cache where you can reference it without network
delays. If you change the cached mdb, you either have to manually request
that it be paged entirely back to the remote, or that happens when you
close Web Drive. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

only of a variety of kludgy partial solutions to this problem. I'll be
listening to this thread for some good ideas.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

there any way to link BE tables on a web server to a FE on a local

I have not been able to get them to work.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
