Hi,

I am a website and database developer.

I developed an Access database application. My client will update the database weekly and then FTP the database to his website.

QUESTION: Is it possible to program Access to FTP the database to the website?

Thank you in advance,

Michelle

Yes, using VBA it should be possible to program FTP functionality into Access.

There is a free module you can use at The Access Web (http://www.mvps.org/access/modules/mdl0037.htm), looks like they're using VB but it should be adaptable to VBA.
