Try using an API call to download the DB.
Example from AllApi:
code:
Private Declare Function URLDownloadToFile Lib "urlmon" Alias "URLDownloadToFileA" (ByVal pCaller As Long, ByVal szURL As String, ByVal szFileName As String, ByVal dwReserved As Long, ByVal lpfnCB As Long) As Long
Public Function DownloadFile(URL As String, LocalFilename As String) As Boolean
Dim lngRetVal As Long
lngRetVal = URLDownloadToFile(0, URL, LocalFilename, 0, 0)
If lngRetVal = 0 Then DownloadFile = True
End Function
Private Sub Form_Load()
'example by Matthew Gates (Puff0rz@hotmail.com)
DownloadFile "http://www.allapi.net", "c:\allapi.htm"
End Sub
