What kind of database? If it's Access, you're out of luck. (You can only connect to Access on an internet server using a server-side process like ASP)

You will use ASP, which runs on the server to connect to the database. The ASP process will retrieve the data and display it in HTML, for your client browser to display.
ASP101.Com is a good place to get started.

You can't connect to an Access data file on an internet server from a remote client.
It is NOT possible with Access.
Period.
Access is ONLY accessable on your local machine, or over a LAN. It is NOT accessable over the internet. You may be able to connect if you set up VPN (virtual private network] mapping between the client and the server, as the VPN software acts to extend your LAN to include the remote machine. But, typically, you won't have this available to you. And, even if you do, there's a chance that the intermittent delays associated with the internet would lead to database corruption issues, so I wouldn't recommend it. |
