Mdb won't open at the web site

[paul69]

In Frontpage 03, I try to open the mdb file I have in a web site. It won't
open. I have followed instructions to solve this problem by adding this web
site to the trusted sites list in Internet Explorer. I have even unchecked
the box for Require Server Verification. Still won't open. I don't have a
intranet...just plain old internet connection. Any ideas?

You can't do it. You need to export the database to your hard drive and open
it from there.

I was able to open up the mdb with FP 2002...has there been a change with FP
2003?

Opening a mdb in a server will most often lock up your site
- should be blocked by the site security
Always export it to open it and then import it w/ any changes

The only way to view data from an Access database in a web page is to write
a server-side script/application to do so i.e. with ASP, ASP .Net etc.
Frontpage has such tools for doing that (the Database Results Wizard) - it's
under the "Insert" menu.
