    Cool

    I have my .mdb database file on a hosting computer so my question is:

    How will be my string connection to access my mdb file in the hosting comoputer? not in my local machine..

    my domain is www.siteton.com and the database path is /data/mydata.mdb and the hosting is www.burlee.com

    You can't access an Access database remotely over HTTP. You'd need to have it served - what OS does the server use?

    The OS is NT. I though we can access a databse from a local machine.

    Okay - if the program accessing the database is on the server as well, that's no problem. What you can't do with an Access DB is access it, on a server, via HTTP. You can only do it via the Windows Networking system. What sort of thing will be using the DB? (Program, ASP?)

    yes an asp

    Yes I want my asp script and also a visual basic application access the .MDB file on a remote or hosting computer. So I will not have to upload the whole file any time I do changes on that databse.

    You'd have to make an ASP to do all your DB administration if you didn't want to keep uploading it. Bear in mind that Access isn't designed for use over the internet, and there are specific packages available for that purpose (Oracle, SQL Server, mySQL).

    connection

    yes I have my asp and visual basic application already. What I just need is the connection string to access the databse.
