Hi,
I was wondering if it is possible to link to the tables of an access database remotely up on a web server.
I have ftp permissions to the server, but when I tried it I got a message about not finding a database that was definitely there.
Any guidence is appreciated.

Hi,

What you are trying to do is not possible.
You cannot access the database directly if it's only accessible by HTTP (web) or FTP.

HTH,

There are two ways to link to an Access database. One way us using Active Server Pages (ASP). the other is using Data Access Pages.

Hope this helps,
