Is it possible to connect to an Access database on my webserver without using RDS? When I was doing my research it said I needed to use RDS, but that I needed to change some config files on my web server. This is a problem for me, since my host won't allow it.

What I want to do is be able to access the data through a winsock control. If there is no way around RDS, then I was thinking about making an ASP hack to process form values from my VB Application. Unfortunately I tried that and I kept getting "400 bad request" errors. The file type I was trying to post to was .asp... I was thinking it had something to do with that because I was able to get index.html from Yahoo! perfectly fine.

Please help me out with any links or ideas that you might have. I'm new at VB programming, so be gentile :)

thanks in advance,
leo
