If the server allows (very improbable), you can NET USE I: \\your-servers-ip\somefolder and then have the internet mapped on drive I. ;)

That would enable you to make use of the dbf like with any other local or network drive.

But even if it would not be disabled (as it would be a security hole) that would be too slow to be acceptable.

I assume you don't have a windows web server available, I'd rather go for usual ways of remote database access through SPT, remote views or cursor adapter, with a sql server on the website, not necessarily MS Sql Server.
