The developer is using ASP(Chilisoft) and he wants to interact with an Access DB but can not. My network admin said it was not possible, I thought it was so I decided to check on the list. You are the only response:) The article you sent was informative but not really MS Access specific. I neeed some way to A)Prove you can use an Access DB and B)Have the info to start using the Access DB. Any ideas? Regards, André C.
