The short answer to your question is yes. You will need PWS... hers how it all
works

You use your ASP pages to connect to an Access database (.mdb file) from there
you write an ASP app to convert your SQL query results from the database to XML
markup. You can either save it as a file or format the outbound XML as you want
via your XSL style sheet.

It may be a better bet to us Internet Information Server (IIS), it is a more
powerful version of PWS, but will require a Windows NT/2000 box to run on.

Hope this helps.
