Connecting to an Access db over the Internet is a bad idea, but anyways:

VB Code:
  1. Dim cnn As ADODB.Connection
  2. Dim rs As ADODB.Recordset
  3.  
  4. Set cnn = New ADODB.Connection
  5. Set rs = New ADODB.Recordset
  6.  
  7. Debug.Print cnn.State
  8. cnn.Open "Provider=MS Remote;Remote Server=http://myServer;" _
  9.             & "Remote Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" _
  10.             & "Data Source=c:\inetpub\wwwroot\biblio.mdb;admin,"
  11. Debug.Print cnn.State
  12.  
  13. rs.Open "SELECT * From Authors", cnn, adOpenKeyset, adLockOptimistic
  14.  
  15. Debug.Print rs.RecordCount

Try it out. If it doesn't work, I doubt anything's possible for that matter.
