I'm trying to link a remote client Access app (through the internet) to
an mdb in a web folder on my web server. The idea is to give users
readOnly access to the web folder mdb, which itself links to SQL Server
2000. Users are not permitted to connect directly to SQL Server
because it's outside our dmz.
I have succesfully created a WebDAV on our Win2003 Server web server
and granted readOnly permission to the users, who are listed in Active
Directory.
I have also succesfully created the web folder (in Network Places on a
Win2000 test client pc) which points to the web folder on the web site.
The web folder itself is visible to the client, but no files
I'm stuck though when I try to map a logical drive to the web folder,
or when I alternatively try to create an odbc connection, on the client
pc.
As I understand it, WebDAV is supposed to expose the files in the web
folder on the web server, and allow file transfers between the two
computers using port 80(http).
Am I wasting my time? Can this be done at all?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Yes.

No.
To be able to link to an Access file you have to be able to browse to it in
the regular file system. In other words if you can't see the file in
Windows Explorer then you can't link to it. That cannot be done over HTTP
as far as I know.

Hallo!
We have troubles (post XP SP2) to open local folders from the web application:
- the web application allows users to select a local file (input type=file)
- the system DOES NOT upload the file but stores the path to the folder containing this file into a
database.
- the path to the local folder is linked as <a href=file:///blablabla/folder>Open folder</a>
- we used to be able to open the folder by clicking on the link above but...

I just got Access 2003 and have been playing around with it. This whole

Initially, I was able to link to my backends located on a second computer.
Then after I compacted the backends on the other computer and I think I also

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
