I don't think that you will be able to connect to Access in this way. Access is a file-based database system. Your program would need to have direct access to the filesystem where the MDB file is located.

SQL-Server would be a better bet because it is designed as a client-server database system, and its more robust, and its faster, etc. Also, you will find it easier to do data maintenance and change the database design at a later date

However, if you absolutly need to work with Access then your options are limited by what you want to achieve. If your VB program just needs to read from the Access database then you should be able to periodically FTP the entire database onto your local network, then read it from there.

If your VB program needs to write, but your web site only needs to read then you should be able to have the master database on your local network, then periodically FTP it up to the central web server (although you will have to be careful of file locks imposed by the web pages reading the database).

If you want to be able to read-and-write from both the VB application and the web application then you might be able to create a couple of special "web-service" web-pages, then use an HTTP connection from the VB application to invoke those web-services. This would take a whole bunch of effort.

Hope this helps.
