I downloaded the forum and tried to install it. I changed the config.asp path etc... But I get the following messgae. It says it's successfully installed but at the same time gives me an error message. I am using Access 97 for my database. There has been an error !! The database could not be opened !! Check your config.asp file and set the strConnString so it points to the database. Also check if strDBType is set to the right databasetype.
Couldn't read from one or more tables in the database. Make sure none of the tables are exclusively locked by another user.
Couldn't open the database. Make sure you supplied a correct username and password.
The database could not be opened !!
Click here to return to the previous screen. Click here to retry. The database needs to be installed !! You need to create all the tables in the database before you can start using the forum.
Thanks for the reply. I uncommented the two lines before installing and the path looks like follows. But still didn't work. And idea what i am doing wrong. Thanks again in advance
Do you have MDAC (data access components) installed? You will already have MDAC if you are on W2K, or have installed software such as MS Access or Office, FrontPage, etc. If not, get it free at http://www.microsoft.com/data/
