Anyone knows if it is possible to make a database connection over TCP/IP to
an MS ACCESS database? If yes please give me an example or any documentation
please.
Best regards,

Thanks for the information. I am not really familiar with databases
(especially Access databases), but I read what I wrote somewhere some time
ago...

Sorry you are incorrect. I do this everyday. If the client has
large datasets I put him on SQL 2000. IP addresses work to access
ANYTHING just as if I use a DNS name.
I don't think you are *directly* accessing the database over TCP/IP. On
which port should I or the Jet Engine connect? What's the protocol? What's
listening on the server for the client's requests?

Correction the next was ununderstandabl e.
.. Jet 4.0 connection objects support the use of IP address.
I don't have a public server available right now to show you that you can
Read/Write whatever to a Jet database from anywhere over the Internet, but
if I have time to get my 2003 server installed I will be glad to send you
a VB.NET exe which will connect to it. Give me a few weeks. I used this
method in the infancy stages of a large project for a large corporation so that
they could continue development while waiting for their SQL server.

Armin,
..NET takes care of all that. The key difference between using SQL 2000 or
Oracle as opposed to Jet is what it does to the SERVER, not how it looks to
the client. By the time data gets to the client it is XML and he doesn't
care what served it to him. If you are serving a large database you should
use a Data server which optomizes things on the server. Jet does little to
help the server run well.
MS Access (I think 95 and above) actually has tools for establishing
connections over the Internet within itself. If you have a copy check it
out. You can establish the connection by IP or by path name.

Jerry,
Before you think that I see no problems accessing MS-Access over Internet, I
think that is widely spread used and gives in my opinion with low access no
problems.
The only thing I don't see, how to access a MS-Access database on a server
(without IIS) in Amsterdam, while the IIS (Asp.net) server that access it
(connected to it) is in NewYork.
Cor
The thing is Cor that you have to access the disk that the .mdb file is on.
Once you have that you just open the file as normal.
It's the accessing of the disk that can be problematic because it needs to
use the netbios related ports on the target server which are unlikely to be
open and exposed to the internet, as a matter of course, at the target site.
If you recall, these were the ports that allowed that recent nasty to do
it's stuff.
But, the point is, if you can connect to the share containing the file, then
you can open the .mdb.

Stephany,
That I know, in that way I can reach every other file.
But what I mean in saying it in other words is that when you connect to an
SQL server in your IDE you do not have to give a share, it is a Server over
IP I think (there stops my knowledge at the moment).
It is an extra benefit, but one that I don't believe that I ever shall use.
But it is an extra benefit.
But it is becoming a theoretical discussion just because Herfried
misunderstood the question.
And I am not good in that I am very pragmatic.
I only came in to try to make things clear between connection and access.
But thanks for your post.
I apriciate it.
Cor

Hi, I'm a bit confused ... when would I rather write an database
application using MS Access and Visual Basic and when (and why) would I
rather write it using Visual Studio .Net?
Is it as easy in Visual Studio to create reports and labels as it's in
Access?`
The advantage of VS.net is that not every user needs Access, right? And
that would eliminate the Access version problem as well I guess.
