Connecting to Access DB on Webserver

[Sidrp]

Hi VB.Net gurus,
I have an issue i need your advise on. I have an ASP.net application running with MS Access deployed on a webserver with a hosting company. I need to have a VB.net application running from the client machine to access this database and print out certain reports on the local machine.
Firstly Is this possible? Secondly if so how and if no..is there an alternative procedure? I was considering exporting the data to XML and then running the VB app locally with that xml datafile.
Any ideas?
thanks
Sid

I dont think that will be possible as it opens up a lot of permissions issues, etc, However youu could always use web services to access the data on the web server - which i would imagine is the best way of completing your task?
