Hi all,
Does anyone have any recommendations for a webhost who uses microsoft servers with asp and access database supported?

My usual host dont have these types of servers.


Cheers,

mads

Might be worth asking yourself why you want access database support!

SQL server would be far far a better option!

Or, use Mysql on an apache server and save yourself a small fortune.... Would jut have to translate your program from one language to another...its not that hard!

the best place for hosting MS stuff is here supposts ASP.NET upto the latest 3.5 framework and supports ASP AJAX for slick interface

I agree with above Access is only a pretend database SQL Server is much more suitable (not that im bias been a SQL Server specialist )

godaddy will support ASP but I'd use theire mysql instead of access...

its not for me, its for a friend who has had his website designed and its been done in asp. I dont have time to redesign it or fiddle with the database (anyone here do - beer money involved) so looking for a temporary host.

Have you tried soaking it in penetrating oil for 12 hours, welding a nut on top and then heating it with a blow torch as you use a no.1 tool?...
