Database Path in the Internet

[Saber]

I want to write a Win or Web Application to access to
a database (ms-access) in the internet.
How can I write path of mdb file?

Saber,

Who is the dbo? Are you hosting the db and want to provide an app. that
allows access? To be honest my initial thought was that 'on first
consideration' it was a strange request...........but now I am asking for a
little more info.

You probably have a few options, and if you are hosting the db, then a few
more. But whatever your options they will likely be dictated by your ability
to, and how you, access the db. You could provide the IP address of the host
within your connection string. You could use a web service if you are
providing the db.

Tell us a little more.

Cheers, Phil

Phil,
I put database on a hosting service I rent, so I've no direct
access to server.
I can access to db using FTP and do some stuff using hosing
service's control panel.
And unfortunately, it uses a dynamic IP address.
Is there a chance?

Saber,

An Access database is not a databaseserver, it is a kind of database file.

Databaseservers as SQLServer and Oracle and more allow you to access them
over Internet using an IP address. (However the first problem is that you
have an fixed IP address for them)

I hope that this gives an idea

Thanks Cor,
Let's forget Access!
So you mean it is impossible to modify a text file
on my host thourgh my own pc from home?

Saber,

Changing any textfile with a program means forever.
Reading the whole file, writing the whole file.

For that are very easy methods in the webclient class (or the classes where
that derives from)
