HI.
My Config.asp looks like this
___________________________________________________________________________
'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"
'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forumi\tools\snitz_forums.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
'strConnString = "driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=SQL_USER;pwd=PASSWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MS SQL Server 7
'strConnString = "driver=MySQL;server=SERVER_NAME;uid=MYSQL_USER;pwd=PARRWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MySQL
strTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
strMemberTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
______________________________________________________________________________
AND I STILL GET THE ERRROR MESSAGE:
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.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
CAN SOMEONE HELP ME HERE

Have you checked that you typed in the correct name of the database?
Also, double check to make sure the database file is in the tools folder.

Is this misspelling forumi?

I assumed it is a foreign language version of the word, because its consistent in two places.
What is the database version?
Do you use PWS to run it?
Is necessary drivers for Jet etc loaded?
Must be something with the setup.

Congurats.
1. Now go to the members page and change the profile of admin. Change the password, do not delete it.
2. Define another user with any desired name (using the register link on the top menu)
3. Login back as admin, go to the members page, click the edit users profile icon on the right, give the new user ADMIN rights (last field named Member Level).
So, ADMIN will stay as a backup user with admin rights, and you will use the other one normally.
Hope this helps.

It still can't work for me! But I confirm all the paths are correct!
I got the below when I tried to enter default.asp:
quote:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Could not find file 'd:\www\digitalrice\members\giggss\db\snitz_forum_2000.mdb'.
/members/giggss/forum/inc_top.asp, line 42
And when I go to setup.asp, I got this:
quote:
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.
PLEASE HELP!!!

giggss, make sure you have the correct spelling of the database. The database in the zip file is spelt "snitz_forums_2000.mdb", but in the config.asp file it is spelt "snitz_forum_2000.mdb" without the s on forum.
