Assuming your PHP script is located on a Win32 server, you will have to
run the web server under a user account that has permission to access the
remote drive.  You then have to reference the MS Access database by its
UNC path.

How about mapping a drive on the web server to the folder where the MS Access mdb is? 
Need to give the web user account permissions. Then all you have to do is reference 
the mapped drive in the path, I believe. Not sure of the security ramifications here, 
however.
