Can't link to a site in in My Network Places

[victorcamp]

I've got a remote web drive connected in 'My Network Places' that I'd like
to assign a drive letter to. The right-click menu does not have 'Map Network
Drive'.
I've tried setting the Registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer\NoNetConnectDisconnect
to both 0 and 1, and neither setting makes it appear.
I can bring up the directory fine with Windows Explorer, and access all the
files, but I have no way to access them within a program like MS Access. If
I try the 'Map Network Drive' under the Tools menu, the 'OK' button always
remains grayed out when I choose it from the Browse list.
How can I do this?

That is, in fact, what I'm trying to do: Link a database on a remote server
to MS Access. It appears that it isn't possible. Do you have a suggestions?

You need to map a drive to the back-end (tables) on the server or use the
UNC path.

You cannot use a web address or use a web server unless it is on your LAN.
