Hi.
I'm building a site where people sign up for lectures on conferences, using asp/VBscript/Access db. What I want is to make "back-office" routines; billing, diplomas and so forth, from within Office Access. This would be easier and more understandable for the ones using it.

How is the best way to connect? I have fullt ftp access, and the site works.

Ideas anyone?

supert.

I am pretty sure you can create an Data Access Page, so you can work within the MS Access environment. However, not everyone will be able to access it as far as I can remember, all your users need to have MS Access. Try it out. When you save your file, you save it as a DATA ACCESS PAGE.
Read the F1 on your MS access to learn more.

The problem is the connection to the database. I can't get it to work from MS Access, even though it works fine via ftp and on the net.
