Backend out on the internet

[mistux]

I need a way for 2 people to connect to an Access database back end over the internet.

Is there a way to "host" a file on a website of some sort and be able to "connect" to it from the Access front end?

Without setting up a VPN.

If you use Access 2003, then you can create pages that serve as HTML that can be veiwed over the internet if you have a site that will link to it. If you have 2007, then that feature has been delegated to SharePoint and you lose that functionality without adding sharepoint.

You can also natively design webpages using ASP Classic that are hooked up to your database. If you want the specifics on how to do this, I suggest picking up the book Access (2003 or 2007): Programming By Example with VBA, XML, and ASP - It's available at Amazon and tells you exactly how to do this.
