    Hello,

    I have built websites accessing databases which is set up and hosted
    by my hosting company, but now want to know what differences there
    are if I want to for example access a companies product database which
    is hosted by them, "in-house" - in other words, the company does not
    upload their database to the hosting company.

    Eg.
    The company needs a website thru which their sales reps can access
    their "in-house" database. How does one do that??

    I know this may sound stupid, but if this db would have been hosted
    at the hosting company I would be able to do it. I've never done it
    the other way round.

    Is it just a question of changing the properties of your DNS/ODBC Connection
    to point to the "in house" database!!??

    Thanks and I hope this makes sense,
    T

    i'm new to ASP and could be wrong, but what you are asking doesn't sound like much more than changing the connection, just like you said.

    yep , just change your DSN connection to point to the "in-house" database.
