[AccessD] MDB on the web

Hi Drew:

Some other people who have been using that type of system have had some data
corruption when the hits rates increased. It may have nothing to do with the
use 'Server.MapPath("/MyDatabase.mdb")' or it may be just the MDB or the
connection type used. Maybe it might be worth moving to MS SQL Express...
the initial price is right???

Why won't a DSN-less connection work?  You just have to know where the
database actually is on the hosted server.  You can find this with (I
think) Server.Path.

Hi All:

What connection method and code do you use to connect to an MDB DB on
your
web sites? (I have only used MS SQL in the past and that is fairly
straight
forward.) 

My client had originally hard coded the MDB location in a Global file
variable and used the DSN-less Database Connection method but that will
not
work now that he is planning on migrating to a public internet hosting
company. Is there a way to pre-setup an ODBC Database Connection that
would
work on any location?

Any insights and coding samples would be greatly appreciated.

TIA
Jim
