To make it available to the web, first converty it to "prior version" through the tools menu and convert to previous version. Next, you need to use ado to connect to the database in server side scripting...ex:
<%
dim sql
sql = "SELECT * FROM myDBtable WHERE ((myDBtable.oneColumn)="1"

;"
set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection"

DSNtemp = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};"
DSNtemp = DSNtemp & "C:\InetPub\
conn.Open DSNtemp
Set rs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset"

rs.open sql, conn, 3, 3
rs.close
set rs = nothing
conn.close
set conn = nothing
%>
DBQ is obviously where your converted to 1997 database lays on your hard drive tree, and anytime you want to work with the files within the database....inside the connection string use the recordset identifier to pull it up. Let's say you want the first and last name printed to the web page where myDBtable.oneColumn is equal to "1", as declared in the sql statement. then inside the connection string, write this code...
response.write rs("firstname"

& " " & rs("lastname"
where firstname and lastname are the names of the table fields. does that answer your questions? if not, write back and I'll try to make it more clear.
Sincerely,
Jim
