Q: 

Accessing a Microsoft Access database on Windows server

I have the unfortunate task of working with some legacy asp code and an Access database.

I've uploaded the .mdb file to the web server (which is windows) but when I enter the url into the browser, I get a 404 page. Seems that the server is not recognising the database.

Is this a problem anyone else has come across before?

A: 

That's a file connection error. You're not going to open the .mdb file with your web browser. You connect to the database in your ASP code.

Maybe you could show us some of the code and we could give you more specific answers?
