Basically, 2 questions:
1. Can I buy a .NET hosting package? (is there such a thing?)
2. Can my hosted .NET project run against MS Access?

Obviously I've never developed a .NET app before, but I have created quite a
few ASP pages....

Thanks for the help,

Yes, various hosts offer shared .NET hosting now, e.g
http://www.brinkster.com/

Yes, but it isn't recommended, because Access is not designed for concurrent
use. You can use it for small apps (e.g. test apps) but I'd recommend
finding a host that also offers SQL Server 2000 databases.

Have you tried setting up a web application to use an Access database and
then hitting it with concurrent requests?

You'll find that Microsoft recommends not using Microsoft Access
for multi-user environments that exceed maybe 10 or so concurrent
users (that is a real rough number). They specifically recommend
not using it in a web environment.

Microsoft Access is largely used and designed for high speed
single user access on the local machine. It can support use
over shared drives and with add-ons remote connectivity.

However, its ability to perform become seriously degraded
when you stray away from its original design.
