perhaps, but for those of us that are running access on some projects, we're
stuck with the dreaded task of trying to break the connection to the access
database so we can upload a new one with changes like added, altered,
removed columns and/or tables.  if we didn't have to do that, but could
connect and perform these operations remotely, that'd be the best.

i've looked high and low for something that would allow me to do this.  do
you have resources you could share on this matter?

thanks,
