What is 'any location'? Any location in your network? Or any location in the world?

In your network, you can put it on a fileshare, but if you want to access it over the web, you can put it on a webserver, behind some sort of authentication method and have it accessible to anyone you give an account to.

More info is needed about ur server and how u want to access it, from where?

Also if you will access it over the web or from a remote site, Access will work very very slow. I had some bad experiences with doing exactly the same.

re: Accessing Server Folder or file

If you want to access it from any other machine on your network, then create a shared folder on your server and paste the access document in it. You then can access it by typing the following in the address bar of any machine on the network to access it '\\servername\c\shared_folder_name\' or 'server_ip_address\c\shared_folder_name\', this assumes the shared folder is on drive c.

If you want to access it frequently from a particular machine, then create a map drive to the address given above.
