Frazier really opened up and said: : John, : : Does that mean that you could have a .mdb file sitting on a linux box say : under samba and : NT/95 boxes running Access could access the file? : : Can it also be accessed from a web server running on linux? : : Thanks. : : Steve You can certainly have an .mdb sitting on a Samba share. This is nothing more than simple file sharing. The same works with FoxPro .dbf's, too. One thing I noticed was that queries against a largish .dbf on a share didn't work so well. The problem may have been hardware; the box had an old NIC and just 16MB of RAM and was something of a junker. It merited further research but the box was confiscated for other purposes.
