Problem with an Access Page

[dcroe05]

I set up a simple DB and a very simple Access Page for people in the company to log in IT requests. But when I put the files on our server I run into a problem.

I can open the page in InternetExplorer but then IE is looking for the access database in the computer where the user is, and not on the server.

I'm positive I have something set up wrong but I can't figure out where to make any adjustments.

So how do I host the DB and AccessPage so this works?

In your HTML file look for the text: Data Source, here your will find where your thinks the database is.

Well yes I had figured out what to change, but I have no idea what to change it to. If I leave it as a C:.... location every computer looks for it on it's own C:\ drive, but if I give a web address it doesn't seem to work.

Is this to run internally or externaly.

If intern. place the base on a server and connect to this one.

If extern. make sure that the server you place your base on handles access databases.

It is only going to run on out intranet. Currently I have the MDB and the DAP placed on the server that hosts our intranet.

Hmmm..... Then if your page it connected to this database on the server.... why does it think that it should look on the c: drive?.
Something wrong here....this page is sure that it will find the database on a (yours/ the users) c-drive - have a looooong look at your at the code for this page again.
Try using an editor like your notebook.
