Connect to database on the web...

I have an access database on the web.... how can i connect to my database from vb.net and display, change, save data from a web site?

I have a book that only covers connecting to a database on a local machine....

also how can this be done using a dsn-less connection?

p.s. - I have purchased a secure certificate for this site... how do i maintain a secure connection from my program to the web server?


Thanks,

I could be wrong but I don't think you can connect remotely to an Access database via the web.

Depending on what you are doing and what kind of server setup you have you could setup a webservice that returns the db, or parts thereof, in the form of a dataset.

Is the website running asp.net? If it is, you could deploy a webservice that exposes methods to update the database. Then you could consume that webservice from your app.
