Uploading me database

[turfbult]

Hello again,

I want to upload my database to my service provider FOR THE FIRST TIME - I have never done this before!!

My host does use NTserver with IIS.

How do I go about doing this. I wrote a simple asp which just reads thru a database and displays some names in a table. I now want to test this "on the real thing"(the internet).I'm using an Access database.

Can I NOT upload my database and have users access it directly from my harddrive - how is this done!!??

Which is faster??

I know you might not be able to answer all of this on a forum like this, but if anyone can give me some tips or refer me to a URL or book where I can get this info I'll be VERY grateful.

Thanks.

it will be way faster if you have everything on the host, I am not sure if or how you can do it in Access , but in anycase it will be way slower, and you will have to keep your computer open and connected to the internet all the time, also you need to have a static IP ...

another way is to have part of the site running on your machine, and some on the host, and for the part that shows information from the DB, you can have a link to your machine, and then have a link back ...

but again, you will have to keep your computer open and connected to the internet all the time ...

Hope it helped ..
by the way, you need to make sure that the host let you run access DB on their server ..
