Creating connection to a remote Access db

Howdy all.

Is it possible to link a local Access database to tables in
a remote Access database across the internet?

I've tried to do this by creating an ODBC data source, but
nowhere do I see where I specify the URL or IP address for
the remote server.

I figure I'm totally confused here, so thanks for your help.

AFAIK, it's not possible.

Access doesn't recognize either http or ftp protocols. Even if it did, you
can't use ODBC to link to a Jet database (i.e. .MDB file) in Access.
