External Database

How do i make a connection to an External database? Or is it possible?

Hi!

Define external, is the database on the same server? What DB are you using?

OK sorry! :)

It's a MSAccess Database and is on an other server.

Is the server on the same network, so you can access it throught the file system?

I am afraid not.

The ASP-script is localized on a server in Faroe Islands and the MSAccess database is placed on a server in Denmark.

Please say it is possible. :)

I have no experience getting data from a server that not is on the network, and i don't think it is possible (please prove me wrong ;)), but, by creating a web service on the server that has the database, which returns an xml-string you could get the data via the http-protcol. But i don't think it would be very efficient though...

Maby a search on MSDN would give you the answer you are seeking... :)
