The access DB I am considering using for this is already split.  The back-end db gets updated locally via scheduled task on my server.  The scheduled task starts at about 1:30am and opens the access back end then runs a macro that purges all the tables then reimports the data from text files. Once the macro is done, the access back end db is shut down.  These text files get rewritten every night at about 1am.  So my question is, if I set up the database (both back end and front end) on ACD, is there a way I could use an FTP program to automatically upload and replace the back end db on the ACD?  Do they support FTP?
