If want to open up the MDB exclusively
If MDB is located on a Network Share
If MDB is located on a remote machine
- Or use an XML Web Service via SOAP Toolkit or ASP.NET
- Or upgrade to SQL Server and use an IP connection string
- Or use an ADO URL with a remote ASP web page
- Or use a MS Remote or RDS connection string
If you don't know the path to the MDB (using ASP)
This assumes the MDB is in the same directory where the ASP page is running. Also make sure this directory has Write permissions for the user account.
If you don't know the path to the MDB (using VB)
This assumes the MDB is in the same directory where the application is running.
