Solution 1

Access database is file based so you can't access it via http:// .

If you want to access it like that you will have to create a Web service for it, this would significantly change your application code.

thank you for replying to my questions,
I have a problem on hand and not much experience with databases.
the application is used within a local network. the users (3 of them) will need to read/write to the database, i have never in my life set up a SQL server, but i have tried to install both mysql 5.1 and sql server 2008. A very nasty thing to do in my opinion, so many fields and such i get lost.
during the development i had accessed the database(Access) locally with no problems. Its deployment time and i have not much ideas about how i can have the computers in the local network access the db file on the server machine..
Would you be able to give me any ideas please? even a thread to search on would be great.
