I get the following error when I look at the forum on the web... It works fine on my local server.....
___Copy___ Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
'C:\tools\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.
/forum/inc_top.asp, line 43
___end copy___
this is my code in my config.asp --copy-- strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\tools\snitz_forums_2000.mdb;" --end copy--- why does it pojnt to c:? I have tried using a url and that does not work either.
You have to include the full path from root of your web server. This path is correct for your local connection but will not be same as your host/provider. Use the whereami.asp script in the tools directory to display the full path then copy and paste this into your config.asp file then re-upload the file. Should look something like this: Source=D:\foldername\sharename\domainname\www\tools\snitz_2000.mdb
Hope this helps. This path is also diplayed when you use FTP to upload/download files.
Thanks guys.. nifty little tool... it was a very weird path.. I think my IPS is running on his private machine... lol.. thanks again...as always you guys are fast and good!
