I don't know if you've done this but it's an easy was to set the db for
writing even if you don't use the FrontPage's connection:

tools/ web settings/ database: click add and browse to your .mdb file.
save your changes and re-publish the whole web to get the global.asa and
other files up there.

should work.

what is the form doing instead of writing to the database and do you have a
url to it?

hosting needs to be on a FP server extension, IIS and ASP enabled server.

Check under form properties that the option "Send to Database" is checked, then
go into the database options and click "update dateabase" and then to 'add
connection' and check that your connection is there, then click 'Verify'.
then "OK" to close/save all dialogues. then republish the page.

Have you uploaded the database mdb file?
Make sure every change you make to the connection, you republish the global.asa -
this will show as 'publish' if it needs to be republished.
