Hello,

I have a main page where the user log in to access to the data in SQL
Server, the selected data by the user will be exported in a .MDB file into
the server, I want that generated file keeps into client's machine and then
update the local user's data (SQL Server too) with this file, any ideas?,
How can I do it in a way totally transparent for the user?

Many thanks
 
In no way. You will have to either ask the user to download the file or
write your ActiveX and ask the user to install it.

Thanks, but VB .NET cannot create ActiveX Controls, Is there any similar way
to create a control like ActiveX in .Net?

No, because .Net objects run *at the server*.
ActiveX objects run client-side.

Still I don't believe that no exists a way to do it (Update data in the
client), I have seen software that does, so I will continue looking for a
solution, Thanks.
 
Ok. Please share with us what you find.

MS Access databases can be exported / imported via a SQL Server DTS package.
Your web page is simply the mechanism for excuting this package, perhaps
with parameters to specify the range of data to be selected. Export to a
folder accessable by your web application and have the user open it via a
link. Once the user has finished editing the database, they can then submit
back to the web server via a provided upload control. A server side event
can then execute the package to re-import the data into SQL Server.
