    ftp into access

    How can you link an Access database on an ftp site, directly into a
    database. I cannot see what the approiate connection string would be?

          Thanks Tom. It's good to know I am not missing something obvious. So the
          next question is what should I be doing to achieve this.
          I have an Access database (say with one table) which I want remote users
          to manupilate thru a PivotTable and export/print/etc. what is the best
          solution?

              Compared with running Access queries over the internet, a bicycle
              courier and frizbeenet would be quicker.

              Ways of Accessing Access data over the net:

              Terminal Services, so the database runs locally, only
              screen/keyboard/mouse info is sent over the net.

              Web enable the data, either using ASP or ASP.NET, there are other ways
              but those two would be the logical choice if starting from scratch.
