I am just wondering if it is possible to use a domain name in a dsn-less conneciton string?

instead of having a physical path using http://www.mysite.co.uk/db/mydb.mdb - www.mysite.co.uk/db/mydb.mdb ??

thanks

Nope you can't, and why would you want to? That would mean ADO would have to download then upload the database for every database call
