Default Link to mdb on a website

I have a Access 2000 database on my computer and want to create links to
another Access 2000 database on a website. Is this possible? If so, how?
I've tried creaating a ODBC connection but could not figure out how to select
an external database that is on a website

Thanks!

No, not in any practical way. See

You can't use odbc to link to an Access db, even it it's on your lan.
Replace the Web Access db with an odbc-compliant db like SQL Server and
create a dsn for it. Link to tables with the dsn.
