Yes, but there are a lot of factors. Do you just want to ftp files? If so,
use the Internet Transfer Control (I think it comes with VB). Do you want
interactive data, like forms and queries? Then you need something more,
maybe SQL Server. What are your specific needs?

Hi
For ftp see also http://www.mvps.org/access/modules/mdl0037.htm

For structured data, web freaks think only in terms of XML. (Oldsters
such as me regard this as s reversion to CODASYL, the predecessor of
relational databases). If you want to read this up for web data
access, look for XML QUERY on Google or see a demo at
