Microsoft Access and Microsoft FoxPro DSNs


If you are on the Windows hosting platform, you may use your own Microsoft Access database.

 

To use a Microsoft Access database

1

Create a Microsoft Access database on your local computer.  An Access filename should have the ".mdb" extension.

2

Log in to ControlPanel and use the Web FTP tool (or your own FTP client) to upload the Access database file to your server's database folder.

3

For example, using the Web FTP tool, we see a folder called "database" in the root directory of your web server.

 

4

Open the "database" folder on the server-side.

5

Locate the Access database file in your computer (the local-side) and transfer it into the server-side "database" folder.
