I need to move a small mdb file to and from an Internet sight from within an
Access 2000 or 2003 application. I have stumbled upon the "Microsoft Internet
Transfer Control" but can find nothing about how to use it for other than a
.txt file.

Does anyone have experience moving an mdb file using either the Active-X
Control above or by any other means from within Access?

Thank you for your help

Actually, I thought the default with the Inet control was binary transfer.

What's the code you're trying to use?

You might see whether there's anything applicable in

though it's referring to Access 97, it should still be relevant.

You could use that. But Wininet might be better, if you are going to
use such, rather than write a lot of code around winsock.

See: http://scenic-route.com/program/vb/ftp2.htm

It does require that your server runs Microsoft.
