Hi,
I want to set a DSN on my local machine pointing to a Access database located in some folder at my web site.
eg.
www.xyz.com/Data/abc.mdb
How do I do it ..... I can definately set a DSN pointing to a SQL Server database located at my web site then why not with Access ......

regards,
Amulay

You can set MS Access driver the same way how you set it for SQL server. Go to Control Panel->ODBC Data Source. Chose User or System DSN and click the button Add. You will see Microsoft Client Access driver. If you don't see it there - it means that you don't have driver installed on your computer. Install the latest version of mdac_typ.exe. It will update your ODBC drivers. You can download mdac from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/search.asp? and do search by keyword mdac
