Need to download data to local access database

[jv]

Have a web app (ASP classic) that saves data to an Access database on
the web host. Need to come up with some sort of ASP admin tool that
will download the data from that web database and save it in a local
Access database.

Anyone have any ideas how to do this? I've done a search of tutorials
with no success

An MDB is just a file. Why not FTP it down?

Yep, understand that (I've created the application already)... problem
is I don't want to give clients FTP access and they don't want to have
to bother me for downloading each time.

You could just provide them with a link to download the database.

The database is at a level ABOVE the web root...unfortunately.

Havent used Access for a long long time, but have a look at Linked Tables or
the Replication Features, might be able to do what you need.
