shackleberry Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Does anyone know any free hosts that support ASP.NET and Access databases?Need one to test out my A-Level project.I've already looked but ones I have found haven't been too promising so I was wondering if anyone else has had better luck?

Synook Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 Not many hosts support Access, as it isn't an ideal multi-user technology. You can connect to other DBMSs such as MS SQL through ASP.NET in much the same way that you do Access - try looking for hosts that support that.

Synook Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 You can export your databases from Access to MS SQL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shackleberry Posted February 28, 2008 Author Share Posted February 28, 2008 How do I do this? (I'm using Access 2007).Also I have been using Visual Web Developer Express 2008 so in this will I have to replace all the AccessDataSource objects with SQLDataSource objects?
