Internet database

[broxtor]

Hi there,

I'm trying to use an access db on the internet. I'm making a DHTML application in VB6, but when I make the project and upload everything to the webserver, the application doesn't work anymore. It try's to find the db in C:\windows\desktop.

I use the following connectionstring.
cmd = "provider = microsoft.jet.oledb.4.0; data source=uren.mdb;"

Is there anyone who can help me with this??

I recommend spending your time learning another kind of database, because Access is probably ranked the worst for use through the Internet. I would imagine that it would probably only run on a NT server, and would maybe need ASP. ASP is slow, and Access is only good for small-medium usage. Anything beyond a handful of users usually cripples Access. Even they recommend getting something better once you exceed its rated limits. So my recommendation would to look into PHP and MySQL. MySQL is one of the top performing Internet databases, and PHP practically goes hand in hand with MySQL now.
