Hello

I was wondering if I had a database created in Access made forms if I could upload the db to a server and have the form access the db on my server?

I don't want the db on the computer at a store due to employee or theft problems. I really need to access it remotely.

Thanks
 
You can link to a remote table or query via odbc...
and use it as though it resides in the local db

from menu:
File>Get External data>Link Tables...follow the wizard
 
Sounds like you want to split your database. Put the Tables on the server and the forms, queries, reports on your local. Tools - Database Utilities - Database Splitter.
