Mutilple user access database VB.NET

[callumh27]

Thanks,

Would it be possible to use an access database located on the host if I was using asp.net? I really have no experiance with SQL and am very reluctant to use it because the whole thing requires resetting up whenever I start developing on another computer or moving to a host.

Also if this were to work, could multiple people read from it whilst someone adds to it? Finally how would you stop people downloading the database as if you typed in the url it would appear? Or would you just password protect and encrypt it?

Note: This is a school project, so everything is sort of theoretical, i.e. it is not too important if it would be a bit slow if everyone was accessing it at once.

Thanks
