When you refer to a Database on your host server it should be in the same manner as you would on your local machine.
By which I mean that you don't use a <b>http:</b> type path. You need to know where your Database resides on the server in terms of its local directory structure.
Probably something like:
D:\genfs2\www24\alex21\db\datos.mdb
Where D is the servers drive letter.
