Right People , my Dilemma is such, don't shoot me if the answer is perfectly simple, I'm a desktop programmer who's had to do a Intranet page, so easy on me!1
Right Problem!!
I have a Intranet based web page, that is hosted on one server, but needs to contact an Access Database that is located on another server, now my problem is this,
I have established the connection using "DSn= MyDSnConnection", now this works fine when I view the page on my box, but as soon as I get a user to logon to the page, it gives me an error saying, "Attempting to retrieve data from another domain",
Okay I suppose more background maybe required, I have written all the connection Logic in a Javascript file, .JS , which is linked to the webpage appropriately, anyway,
my question is such,
I am now attempting to write a connectionstring, to connect to the .mdb , is there any way of writing a connection string that can connect to another server to locate the mdb file??

sorry if the question sounds sketchy , but I am normally piss poor at explaining myself :-)
 
Sure can. Go to the ASP forum here at Tek-tips and look in the FAQS. there are several on connecting to Access files.
