I am using an ADO connection to an access database that is located on a URL. How do i go about doing this??
 
For an SQL Server:

ConnectionString = "driver={SQL Server};server=11.11.11.11;uid=user;pwd=password;database=YourDB"

Where:
11.11.11.11 = server ip address
driver={SQL Server} -> here use access driver

You can try to create a dns name first.

Have fun.
Success
