Hi,
Your best and simplest solution is to use ASP which will require you to install IIS from windows cd. And for how to do it, there are 1000s of codes describing connecting ASP to DB on the web.

me personally. i would transfer everything from the access db to sql express. but that is just me

I have the same question. I am sure it is fairly simple. Have you found results yet?

[ProfessorPC]

its open for you to decide. the different languages will connect with most databases. but if you are going to use microsoft access i would use asp.
this is a good tutorial for basic connections using asp and access.

On a related note. I'm trying to upload buddypress visitor maps to my website. Unfortunately, this requires uploading geolitecity.dat which is a 30mb file. I am on byethost which has a file upload size limit of 10mb. Therefore I have uploaded the file to an external website here.

Is there anyway to link the file to the site so that the plugin can run correctly.

Thanks for your time,
Mark
