Connect Data Access Page on a web hosting company's server

[calpolymis1]

Hi. I'm planning to implement an order tracking system by data access pages to view from around the world. I don't want to enable our company server's IIS for security reasons, and use a web hosting company's server that I use for our website hosting.

I made a couple DAPs to try and uploaded them, but don't know how to connect a page to the database which is uploaded to the same folder. There are instructions how to do that in a local server, but not many for the hosting server.

Thanks in advance.

Hi. fneily. Thanks for your suggestion. I tried the last part of the article, but it was not successful. I think the problem is mainly due to the connectionString configulation. I'm new to DAP-This is the first time I've ever created & deployed DAP. I have 2 questions up front to grab how it works.

1. Does the hosting server have to be a Windows server with Access Database support?

2. Do I have to ask special settings such as the ones found in the article to tech support in the hosting company?
