Trying to use the Private Message mod,but in the instructions is says that the CONN_STRING should be set to Access 2000 if its using 97.
My forum runs on the Access 97 string, and when i tried to change it to 2000, I get a 500 error.
Eventhough the README file stated that there wouldnt be a differance, it seems that using the 97 Access CONN_STRING is the only one that would let the forum work. Does this mean I cant use the Private Message MOD or is there some way to work around this?

can you post the Access97 string that works for your forum?

Also, go into your Internet Explorer settings and turn off "friendly HTTP error messages" so that you will be able to see the actual error.

When I the access 97 CONN_STRING its
[ this is the one that does work ]::

quote:
strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=e:\www.giantclub.com\cgi-bin\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97


The error that pops up with the Access 2000
String I am using is

quote:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Could not find file 'e:\www.giantclub.com\cgi-bin\snitz_forum_2000.mdb'.

/forum/inc_top.asp, line 42


and the String for access 2000 that i use is
quote:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=e:/www.giantclub.com/cgi-bin/snitz_forum_2000.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000

Try it like this:

strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=e:\www.giantclub.com\cgi-bin\snitz_forums_2000.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000

Just one thing to check, on my version of snitz the connstring looks for snitz_forum_2000.mdb but the database is actually called snitz_forumS_2000.mdb. just try it
