Hello,

apologies if I am in the 'wrong place' here - but I am
trying to get an MS Access database to run on the internet

(I am hosting my own site on my own server)

I am 99.99% there - I can open it locally on the server
but get an error "Microsoft Office Web components could
not open the database d:\folder_name\test.mdb" when I try
to open it on a client machine's internet explorer

Needless to say - this would be a very long post if I
expalined every step I have tried to get this working
BUT.... could I just ask -

Is it possible to do what I am trying to do? do I need SQL
Server or something? other things I have come across talk
about cold-fusion, .PHP, front-ends, back-ends!

I am sure I can do it with just MS Access and IIS but
how...

can anyone help me out here?

many thanks in advance

mAx
