Can VB connect to, and send SQL commands to an Access database sitting on a
remote machine, via the internet?
I don't want to just make an internet-viewable [non-secure] share.

How would that work?
Right now I have a VB stand alone client. I want it to connect to an MDB
file, as to add/delete/update records, which is on a separate machine.
Would ASP sit on the same computer as the MDB file, and capture connections
from the VB program and then send SQL commands to the MDB?
Can VB not connect directly to the remote MDB?

According to your original post, you want retrieve/save/update data from the
Internet access, so yo have to learn some basic concept of web application.
A website on the NET is usually publicly accessible. Theoretically, you can
put your db on a regular website and allow anyone read/write to the db file,
but I am sure the db file would be gone/damaged right away: who want to
expose his data that way?
So, comes web app, where user send request (retrieving/updating data) from
web browser to web server, web server makes access to database on user's
behalf...
Web app can be wirten in many different ways, and ASP probably is easiest if
you already know VB. Grab a book on ASP (there should be a lot of them in
discounted price, 'cause ASP.NET is currently hot ones, which is different
from ASP), you may be able to do it in just a few days.

No. You can't. Access does not/can not act as a server. You need a DB
Server. MySQL works great, and there are tools availible that can
convert a .mdb file to SQL statments for import into MySQL. MS SQL
*might* allow you to interact with an .mdb file, but, my guess is not.
It would have to be imported first; but, I no nothing of MS SQL, so, I
could be wrong on that
