Access Data Pages

Guest

Ok, here's the deal. I am using MS Access 2002...I have my database all
setup, I created data access pages for all the forms I have that I want my
users to interact with, I have web space on the local intranet here at work
which I've uploaded everything to and the pages show up fine on the web and
everything.

However, when I go to the website and enter information in one of my web
pages and save it, it saves the information to the location I was working on
the database with on my hard drive before uploading it to web space. So,
everything I enter in the website works fine and saves fine, but saves to the
database on my hard drive rather than the database that is there with the
pages on the web server.

How can I tell my data access pages to save information to the database on
the web server and not my hard drive?

Thanks so much in advance.

I gave it some time for responses...but I really need help, so I apologize
but I am bumping this for some possible help. Thanks.

DAP uses the absolute path written for the location of the database in the
connection string. Contrary to a wide spread misconception, there is no
concept of "web server" for DAP about the location of the database: you can
as well store them directly on your hard disk and they will work exactly the
same. (An exception to this could be to use the remote provider, but then
it's the remote provider who knows about the web server, not the DAPs.)

There is a newsgroup about DAP: m.p.a.dataaccess.pages
