I’m trying to setup a flash-\>asp-\>mdb system so that my manager can update values on our website which change regularly. I’ve been working with the “Flash forms and database integration” tutorial ([http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/forms\_database.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/forms_database.htm)) as this is my first time doing something like this. I set everything up but when I upload my .mdb to the webspace (using FileZilla) it seems to get corrupted. If I download the just uploaded .mdb and try to open with Access it gives the message:

“The database ‘_location_Editor.mdb’ needs to be repaired or isn’t a database file.  
You or another user may have unexpectedly quit Microsoft Office Access while a Microsoft Office Access database was open. Do you want Microsoft Office Access to attempt to repair the database?”

repair fails. If I open both my local source and the downloaded .mdb files with notepad they both look the same to my inferior human eyes.

Is this normal? How am I supposed to know if my values upload properly without finishing the other half of my project which is loading these variables on a public viewable .swf

Thanks in advance
