Is it possible to store a MDB file in my website and have an access page on
my website that writes to the MDB file?

I think you can put Access on a web site, but the only way users can
directly interact with it is to download the entire database. You can
use ASP or Cold Fusion as the interface between the web user and
Access. But Access is single-threaded. Two users could access it at
the same time and cause problems.

You have to use ASP or JSP or other methods that allow a web page to
talk to a db.
Access can be used by multiple users at the same time.
Just looking or running queries You could do about 15-20 users before
things got really slow. For updating 10-15.

Many website hosting servcies do not allow ASP. Those that do also
have SQLServer, so you could just upsize your tables to SQLServer and
avoid the user limitation. The code would be 99% the same. Note that
ASP requires the ADO model. DAO won't work.

Although expensive Macromedia's Dreamweaver allows for construction of
websites that interact with databases and it will do a lot of the
basic work for you.

If you don't have an ISP that will handle ASP, try www.mavweb.net.
I use them and they are quite reliable.

Good luck
