Access on web server

L

Larry

1. Microsoft knowledge base claims Access files on web/ftp servers can
be opened remotely. However, when I attept to open an Access file
remotely, I'm told I cannot use an ftp address, that I must use http,
even though ftp addresses already exist in My Network Places, and I can
open those connections. And when I put in the http address, I'm told
the server cannot be found. Any ideas?

2. When the database file on the Web server is opened and a temporary
..ldb file is created, the .ldb file remains open for long periods of
time, even though no one is accessing the .mdb file. This prevents me
from overwriting the file with a newer version. Is there some way I can
force the file to close and get rid of the .ldb file, or set a time
limit so it expires after a certain amount of inactivity?

1) dont ever use MDB for anything in the real world
2) use SQL Server or MSDE so you dont have to deal with crappy locks
