Ok, I created an access page. How do I make it public?
Do I need to have the database on my webserver? Where
does the page itself need to be?

Thanks.
 
Depends on what you mean by "public." If you want others on your Intranet
to use the page, the Connection property needs to point to a file share
containing your database available to all users. If you want to publish it
on the Web, it will be usable only by folks who also have Office Web
Components installed on their machines - AND you must publish the page on an
IIS server with Remote Data Services enabled - AND you must set the Use
Remote Provider property to True - AND your database must be in a location
where the web server can get to it via the Connection properties.

As John already mentioned, there are a lot of issues involved.

The article at http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;286327 has a link to a MSDN library article that has more
information than you ever wanted to know.

Also, you might have better luck with Data Access Page questions in the microsoft.public.access.dataaccess.pages group. That is it's
specialty.

Good luck.
