Drew: Server 2003 Developers edition with IIS version 6, fully tricked out, runs ASP classic as well as a number of databases protocols and Extensions etc. TIA Jim -----Original Message----- From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Drew Wutka Sent: Friday, September 23, 2011 12:56 PM To: Access Developers discussion and problem solving Subject: Re: [AccessD] MS Access with IIS Accessing an .mdb on a web server (like IIS) is identical to accessing the .mdb from your programming interface itself. For example, if you want to use classic ASP, then you are using VBScript, and VBScript can access an .mdb using ADO. Now, years ago, I believe you had to install ADO separately, but I think since XP, that ADO is included, not 100% positive on that. If you are using .Net, (ie, ASP.Net), then you have the .Net runtimes installed on the server. What platform are you using to program with, and I can point you in a better direction.

I haven't used .Net with an .mdb, but I don't think it would be much different. I STRONGLY recommend that the .mdb be placed on the same server as IIS.

I have never used MS Access as the DB for an application running off an IIS server...any web server for that matter...MS SQL, Express, Oracle, MySQL etc but never MDB. So does MS Access have to be installed on the IIS server and does an extension have to be added to the server etc.? Can just a set of drivers be configured...? (If the truth be known I would just love to upsize to any other DB and be done with it but that is not what the client wants; and the client is always right.(?)) If any one has experience with this process, their knowledgeable tips would be greatly appreciated.
