[AccessD] Access database on the Internet

Steve,
I've done that. My web host has a special directory to upload Access
databases into and then allows me to create a dsn to use in asp pages.
You must use ADO to access the data so it isn't like an ODBC link. It
does not allow links from outside so you can't create an Access
front-end and link to the tables, you must create asp pages for all data
access. You need to make sure their MDAC supports your version of
Access. I can probably dig up the connection string I use if you need
it.

Dear Group,

Have any of you uploaded an Access back end to a web server capable of
"handling" Access? I'm a bit confused by my web host's claim to support
unlimited Access databases. Are we talking uploading the back end, say,
and establishing an ODBC link to it sort of like an ODBC link to a SQL
Server database?
