[thelist] Access 2000 and Web Interaction

[Jorah Lavin]

Hey, all

I've got an intranet client who is in a rush to put a few small db 
tables/reports on the site I'm building for his group.

He wants me to use Access 2000's new "web integration" features to place a 
simple front end on these databases.

I'm running IIS 4.something with FrontPage Extensions disabled.

I tried fooling around with the page generator wizard today, and got the 
pages to work from the server box itself, but the pages don't work when you 
surf into the site from a different machine... the page looks for the db on 
the C:\ drive rather than in the web server's structure.

By that I mean that the db files are sitting in the same folder as the 
Access-generated HTML page, but the path is 
C:\inetpub\client\whatever\db.mdb rather than http://client/whatever/db.mdb

Anyone familiar with this new Access feature?  I've been through the Help 
files until my head is swimming.
