access database on a server

[keroed1]

is it possible for em to use my windows application access a database on a server?

Of course. But in which langage your windows application is implemented (C++, C# or C) and which database do you want to access (SQL Server, Oracle, MySql, Access, Versant...)

Generally speaking when you talk about remote server activities (i.e. your app on one machine, your Access database on a different machine somewhere out on the Internet) Access is out of the running. This is more the realm of MS SQL, MySQL etc. Being completely honest, with the right set up YES you could get it working [with some coding gymnastics] but you really don't want to... not with an Access db.

The Access application works extremely well as a front end to SQL server but its native file format needs to die a horrible death - at least where Internet use is concerned. ;)
