Hello,
My problem is:
I have an application which i have created that uses ODBC to connect to a ms access database. I want to place the database on my webserver therefore allowing the appliction to connect to the database from different locations. Anyone know how to do this?

Without knowing anything about the "application" you created, I'm gonna have to state the obvious. Have you placed the database on the server? What is the front-end client?

The apliaction is a series of interfaces created in macromedia director which normally connect to a database via ODBC. I would normally use the 'ODBC microsoft access set up' to locate the access database on the server or local hard drive. in this way the program works fine.
What i want to do is place the database on a webserver and allow anyone who has the application on their machine to be able to connect once they have set up the ODBC.
