I uploaded to http://www.cronushobbies.com/forums and it does not work.

What gives?

Here is the error I get

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Operation must use an updateable query.

/forums/inc_functions.asp, line 644



I uploaded with front page and everything works except for the forums do not show. I did not editing of the board in frontpage, just used it to upload.

Here is the conn string I am using

strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path

All folder permissions were set to full access prior to uploading. The server I am on uses all win2kserver software and dell servers. I tried to set the security permissions using front page but I don't have admin access yet. (not sure why, my site)

Any ideas?



I am required to kill, so I kill. That is enough.

do you have a database directory on your server? Web hosts usually have a database directory with the correct permissions setup for you.

I tried moving the fpdb folder with the mdb file into the forums folder and changing the string to read "cronushobbies/forums/fpdb... and got the error that the path E:... was not valid. Stumped!

I don't know if I do. Is there a way to find out? I do remember that one time I tried to upload an mdb and I was asked if I wanted to move it to the fpdb folder. I wonder if I accidently errased that folder and the one I put on there is not correct now and they need to restore the permissions?

I would check with your host and see if they provide a database directory.

This behaviour is normal when you add a new database to Frontpage. The DB is copied to wherever you dragged it to, then FP offers to move it the the fpdb directory. If you didn't see a message about creating a fpdb directory then it already existed.

Don't forget, the anonymous internet user account is what needs read/write access to the database file.
