How do I link MS Access to and online .mdb database

[Guest]

I have MS Access 97 on my computer and an .mdb database uploaded to the
Internet. How do I make the connection between the two so I can Link to the
database from my computer. I have tried various options, but none seem to
work.

Unfortunately Access cannot connect to anything over the Internet, unless
you add vba code to provide support for HTTP connections - in the form of a
Class Module.

Unless you have full control, or own that internet server, you can't really
expose the files.

I explain how you can use ms-access over the internet here:
