As far as I know, you cannot use a database stored in another system while running the code in another.
For you to be able to access your database, you must ask the aspspider.com team to run your windows application on there server.

If a host allows remote database connections then it is possible to connect to a database on a server. However, the DATABASE folder at ASPSPIDER is protected against connections from outside so remote connections can't be made.

Despite the above. If you will connect from a Windows application on local computer to MS ACCESS database at the server only for your own purpose (not for the public) and it is only for testing purposes (not for a lot of data transfer) then you ought to read this thread:
