You cannot do that. A website is usually exposed to outside through web
server with http(s)/FPT protocol, which cannot be used for Access mdb file
connection. Access connection requires a file server. No web services
provider will expose their file server to outside publicly.
Even you can somehow connect to a file server remotely via the Internet, it
usually still not usable because of he slowness. What you need to do is to
create a web application to access data in *.mdb or other type of database.
