Nope, still no go! Now it says
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
'\\genfs2\www21\spacecowboy9999\forum\spacecowboy9999\fpdb\snitz_forums_2000.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.
/spacecowboy9999/forum/setup_login.asp, line 58

I really, really like this forum script! It works beautifully on my computer with PWS setup, but I can't get it to work at all on the web host's NT server. I have tried many variations of the path on these 2 strConnString lines:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/d:/html/users/arringtonsnet/database/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=d:/html/users/arringtonsnet/database/snitz_forum.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
And I have uncommented:
strDBType = "access"
I reloaded a fresh database, thinking I had confused the script with personal configurations while it was on my computer's PWS server... still no luck.
The web host has set the read/write permissions eariler for another database. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks for any help.

You might want to try putting the database into the same folder as your asp stuff is. I don't know if it well work, but at least you'll know for sure if it is a read / write error!
EDIT: It works! Do that and you should have no problems accessing your forum! :D

I had thought about doing that, but didn't figure the Forum folder had read/write permission, so was probably a waste of time... I'll try it anyway, haha.... I'm just sittin' here scratchin' my head about it.

is your database named "snitz_forum.mdb" or "snitz_forum_2000.mdb"?
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=d:/html/users/arringtonsnet/database/snitz_forum_2000.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
I see that you're at ReadyHosting. Uncomment the above string connection, correct the db name if necessary, and try this one again

Thanks for responding e3stone...
I found the problem, and in the meantime I think the server host may have corrected some of their's. At the beginning of the path, I removed the "/" (/d:/...) and it worked just fine! I also saw that I had two different databases listed, and had already corrected that.
Thanks for the help, I appreciate it. Now, what can you tell me about ReadyHosting.com??

I haven't had too many problems with ReadyHosting. Overall, they're a good host. Cheap and somewhat reliable.
