Hi, heres what I would like to do but am having trouble getting info
on it.

I have a database that records bookings for 5 rooms, my plan is to
keep the relevant table on my web host server so that i can check the
booking from home and the ofiice..with any changes being saved on the
server.

I'm pretty new at this and am having trouble getting teh odbc thing
sorted out.

any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.

cheers

You cannot hope to update your database over the internet by linking tables
like you would over a local network. You could either upload the latest
version from time to time (e.g. daily) but if you needed live data, then you
need to use something very different.
If you are using an mdb file to store the data, then you might use ASP web
pages to view or update the data, but then you would not be able to use
Access forms to also update this data.
