I found out how to make my database auto task, but now I need someone if they can tell me how can I get it to output the data to the web rather than a local file. The file is a text file.

Sincerely,

Charles
 
Havn't got the details immediately at hand, but one way to do this is to write the file to the local file system (as you're currently doing), then shell out to a ftp program (file transfer protocol), and let this do the transfer of the file to the remote server. If you do a search in tek-tips, I'm sure you'll find further info of using ftp from within Access.
