Hi Daniel,

Actually, the .mdb file is part of another application on a different
server. I need some of the data for my application. Apparently .mdb files
don't configure well (if at all) for remote access. I will add that the CF
docs state that this implementation is possible.

Oh well, looks like I'll just fake out the boss to prove the concept and
then pull back the curtain to show that the (remote) database is actually
local and we need to move this to our production system (Oracle which, at
the moment is gathering dust ... but that is another story/problem
altogether)

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

    What specific reason are you trying to move the DB to a different
server?  The only thing this will give you is the ability to use the hard
drive of the other system.  All of the processing will still be done by
the
web server.  With the exception of disk access and network traffic.  If
you
are trying to offload the Database work to a different machine.  Then you
need to use a different DB type.  You can upsize the access DB to MSDE or
SQL Server and then offload this work.
