I noticed a strange error that began this morning, if anyone has a clue where this would come from, please let me know...
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Cannot open database ''. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.
/forum/inc_top.asp, line 42
I'm running the latest release of Snitz...

Often this error is caused by a problem with the web server and will vanish after time.
Otherwise, there may be some problem with the database itself, but likeliest is that it's a server-side problem if the forum was working and quit without any other changes made to it.

Yeah, that's what I'm beginning to think. It's odd, though, as the other database functions on the site work just fine. Just about the whole **** site is .asp tied to a database, but for some reason, only the forum breaks. Any idea what the exact problem is so I know what to *** about?

I got this message back from tech support concerning the strange database errors I'm seeing...
Thank you for writing. These errors stem from a build up of memory cache
and open Access database connections. There are only a finite number of
available connections to an Access database on the server via the Jet
engine, and if clients are not properly closing db connections, then the
limit can be reached over time, thus necessitating a clearing of all open
connections.
Is it possible there's some loose ends in the recent bit of code?

If it was me, I'd look for a orphan .ldb file in the folder with your database file.
Next, I'd copy the db to my local computer and see if the db itself is corrupted by opening it with access, and putting the copy in a local PWS Snitz of the same code base.
Review the connection string, and verify that the host didn't change any paths, etc.
Good luck.

No other files in the fpdb directory other than the DB's being used by the site. The forum DB is brand new with the install of the latest offical release. The path is all good, too, because the forum does work on occasion... it seems to be down every other day or every third day.
Very Frustrating to say the least.

I found a possilbe fix for this weird problem. The database included with the forum is for Access 97. I've since changed it to an Access 2000 version, and the error has not returned. Not sure why, but it's been working for almost two days straight now.
