This would work if the customer's machine was up on the 'net all the time and easily accessable by the FreeBSD server. Somehow, I don't think the original poster had this in mind. What I've done in the past, was to create a MySQL database for the customer to use. Then, through MyODBC, the customer is able to manipulate their database from Access. If you are talking about publishing an Access database to frontpage under unix, you're SOL, it's not going to happen. If you have a lot of demand for frontpage/database sites, I'd reccomend that you invest in Windows2000 and MSSQL, or educate your users to use MySQL and Perl/PHP. -- Troy Settle Pulaski Networks 540.994.4254 It's always a long day, 86400 doesn't fit into a short. ** -----Original Message----- ** From: owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** [mailto:owner-freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Mark Newton ** Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2000 8:35 AM ** To: peter@virtual.sysadmin-inc.com ** Cc: freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG ** Subject: Re: odbc connection for ms access clients? ** ** ** On Wed, Nov 08, 2000 at 07:14:11AM -0500, ** peter@virtual.sysadmin-inc.com wrote: ** ** > I've got a few customers who want to publish their ms ** access database to ** > their site.
