Reading frorm a remote Access database

I've managed to read from a local database using only javascript and the DAO
ActiveX object, but I can't make it work with a remote database. When I
change the connection string from "C:\..." to "http://..." it doesn't work
any more. Any suggestion?

I don't think MS Access can be used as a (remote) data base server, it
is file based so in that case it is not a problem you can solve, even if
you switch the programming language.
If you use J(ava)Script in a HTML page loaded in a browser and want to
have data submitted to an Access data base sitting on a remote host then
one way to do that is with ASP (active server pages) used on the remote
host, the browser submits the data via HTTP to the ASP page and the ASP
page (which can be scripted with JScript) talks to the local Access data
base.

Hi. I would like to access my database outside of my company. I read many documents but they are all pertaining to accessing the database via ASP or some form of web application. Is there no single windows or linux application tht runs natively to access a remote SQL data base? Any advise is appreciated. Thanks!!

Hello: I'm doing some planning on a potential project with which I need some help. The database at the focus of this question is a MS Access database that is currently accessed by DAO from a local webserver. I need to access the same database remotely through TCP/IP. There will be potentially many transactions coming from both the web server and remotely, so the solution needs to keep the data safe in such an environment. However,...

Is it possible to read (queries, tables...) from a remote database (ie, using its URL) without using ASP? I mean, I would like to write a web page which gets data from an Access db which actually resides on a web site. This page should be run locally but may be eventually published on the web: the code could be written in javascript or something like that. Thanks for your answers. Red Golpe ...

I have an ASP.NET web page accessing a SQL database. I've used VS to build the app and stored it in the eNPTest02 directory of my localhost on my development machine. The database is on the web.

Since debug mode opens IE and loads my page...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
