    How might I save my databases on the Internet

    A fairly simple question. I would like to know if & how I can save my databases on the Internet (more or less for backup). With, Excel, Word, PowerPoint I can use SkyDriveLive which is great, however where can I store my databases online Can this be done & might I have to pay a monthly charge? I tried using SharePoint, but got confused. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried Google?

    "Online storage options"

    Great place to start.

    Dropbox.com is a solution I use. Question: I don't use SkyDrive, but why can't you store Access files on SkyDrive.

    I was just on SkyDrive. While you cannot create an Access File in SkyDrive, you can save a file that you create in a licensed version. What is the issue?

    Thanks, while you can save Access on SkyDrive you cannot"access" (pardon the Pun) the files on SkyDrive on the computer you're using.

    How do you indicate "Solved" to an issue/question on this site?
