Hi Ivan,

Can you clarify what you are asking? Do you mean through ADO.NET or via an
interface? Please reply so we may help you better.

Thanks.
 
Sure--in a way. An Access/JET database is accessed from the data access
interface (DAO/ADO/ADO.NET) by pointing to the .MDB file containing the
database. This file can reside on your local hard drive or on a shared drive
somewhere on the network. Since this file is physically read and written to
over this connection, it does not make sense to connect to it over an
unreliable network or over the Internet. You can also try to setup an XML
web service to expose the data but only in a "logical" way. That is, you
could expose a "Customer" object and properties/methods of that object. The
XML Web Service would do the data access behind the scenes to return or
update the data.
