I configured the config.asp file, ran the setup.asp file, and it stated that the "Forum setup has been completed." I clicked the link to goto the forum, and I get the following error:

/////////////////// BEGIN ERROR MESSAGE ///////////////////

Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Operation must use an updateable query.
/forum/inc_functions.asp, line 644

//////////////////// END ERROR MESSAGE ////////////////////

Here are my settings from config.asp:

strDBType = "access"
strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\database\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97

I also tried to setup the database in the Data Sources control panel (ODBC), and that didn't seem to fix anything.


Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Matt

Nevermind, if figured it out and thought I'd post the resolution in case anyone else had this problem.

The directory the database resides in allows "Everyone" full permissions (WinNT), so this really confused me. The forum should have full access, right? Well, thanks to Mirco$oft...the actual database file didn't inherit the directory permissions. All I had to do was change the security permissions for the actual database file to allow everyone full permissions, and the forum worked perfectly.

Hope this helps!
