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 applicqtion to connect to the database from different locations. Anyone know how to do this?

Yeah, I would use a MySQL database on the web, whcih supports ODBC and is easy to use. Most web hosts offer MySQL databases. You need to download the ODBC driver for MySQL from the MySQL website and install it on any client computers. The login and password for the remote database needs to be entered into the ODBC config before it will work. Email me at "ryan at carter dash tech dot net" for more help if needed.

Summary: No. MySQL and Access are two different databases. You can, however, create an ODBC connection to the database using available PHP functionality to utilize an Access database. http://www.w3schools.com/...
