    1. COIf you want to connect to Access through Java, then I think the easiest solution would be by creating your own service around the Access database that you want to make available. Web service, Windows service or just a COM class. there are just too many techniques to share a database. But they do require you to write additional code. (But that's more a limitation in Java, not Access.) To access the DB through HTTP, build a web service and expose some methods to manipulate the data.

    2. COAnother solution would be by putting the DB on a shared disk. A project I worked on is used by some users on a shared harddisk, with multiple users connecting to the same database, every user on their own system. We even have users who installed out product on a Terminal Server and then use remote desktops to start the application and to connect to the Access database. We want to help these users by migrating the whole project to use SQL Server but that takes a lot of time.

    3. COI've seen the post. The problem is clear: how to access an Access database remotely. The post talks about Java and Java doesn't provide much functionality to do this. But connecting to a remote Access DB is possible through several other techniques. Access won't work over named pipes, but you could create a service that would run on the same system as the DB and access this service through named pipes. But TCP/IP would be a better solution. Another technique might be through COM/ADO by creating an ADO connection on the remote system, but this isn't easy.
