Placing my database on the web

[BWD]

Hello group,

I am attempting to make my database available on the Internet so that
users can simply work from the asp forms that were designed. I do not
have IIS server on my desktop (which requires Win XP pro or win server
versions) so I am attempting to set it up directly on my webserver
which has asp enabled.

What I am planning to do is place the database in a seperate folder on
the webserver and use a path to that location as my DB file
location.

So I have 2 questions:

1) Is my methodology sound

2) if it is sounds, what is the connection string that I need to use
in the asp files so that it looks at the DB on my server.

Many thanks!

What you are doing sounds fine.

Check the following link for an example of some asp connection strings:
