Hi all,
I've tried for two nights to figure this out and I'm not any closer than I
was when I started.
I've got a small Access 2000 DB on a WinXP Professional machine that also is
running IIS and acting as my web server. I would like to dynamically expose
the data page that was created, to the internet for data entry and lookups.
I followed the steps outlined in "ACC2000: How to Deploy Data Access Pages
over the Internet" from the MS support pages
(http://support.microsoft.com/default....microsoft.com
:80/support/kb/articles/Q264/0/80.ASP&NoWebContent=1)
but this isn't quite working yet.
If I use a file path (c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\test\test.mdb) on my local machine
to browse to the data access page, the page opens correctly and I can modify
the contents of the database. If I replace the file path with
(server.com/test/test.mdb) the page still opens, and I can see my title, but
none of the data blocks come up in the browser.
I'm convinced that the problem is either my name string where I open the
database or the permissions on the files (the article discusses Win2000
security and file sharing, WinXP is slightly different), but nothing I've
tried works.
If anyone can point me to a more complete document or offer any suggestions
on things to try, I would appreciate it.
thanks.

I forgot to ask a second question. What is the normal debugging interface
for working through this sort of issue?
thanks again...
