Using Frontpage 2003, how do I use a Access database store in fpdb folder
from other subsites? I want to use same database for different things... I
thought perhaps subsites for different departments so I can restrict access
using site permissions...

Only possible within FP if you set up a systemDSN. You host must allow you or create the systemDSN
for you, otherwise you have use a separate database for each subsite.

ok.. ty.. and once again, apologies for previous post... being similar but
was having internet problems...

I created a system dsn on the server. That is fine.. but when I create a new
database connection locally.. to use system dsn.. it can't find one...
However, if I go to my remote web site and create a connection there.. it of
course can see it. So, what am I doing wrong?

For security, you will not see the SystemDSN name when accessing the site remotely. Create on the
site that you can see the list of SystemDSN, then copy the global.asa file into your local site,
then run tools | site setting | database to verify the connection.
