Access problem

[Nitin]

I use MS Access as the database engine in my site. when I type the exact
path of the data base in the browser I am able to download it(Save/Open file
dialog comes up) e.g localhost/tdata.mdb or example.com/tdata.mdb.
Can anyone help
Regards
Nitin

Nitin so if i undertand u!
You don't want to access the access file via browser?
Pls elaborate

That's what I understood.

Nitin:
There's nothing stopping you from storing the mdb file outside of your web
site structure...so if localhost/tdata.mdb points to
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\tdata.mdb you could store your access file in
c:\inetpub\tdata.mdb thus no one can access the file via the web, but you
can still access it in your code..
