in thread How can I connect/access an MS access database from solaris?

ASP would be on the WinNT/IIS box. Perl CGI is being used on the Solaris/Apache box. Perl is not on the WinNT box.

I'll take a look at the SOAP stuff. Though, wouldn't I need a web-service running on the WinNT box, waiting to hear the remote SOAP call from the Solaris box?

    Yes, you will need an ASP/VB SOAP server, here is the example from the SoapLite website:
    <% Response.ContentType = "text/xml" Response.Write(Server.CreateObject("SOAP.Lite") _ .server("SOAP::Server") _ .dispatch_to("/Your/Path/To/Deployed/Modules") _ .handle(Request.BinaryRead(Request.TotalBytes)) _ ) %>
    Where your module would take your data and put it into Access.
