Firstly, does the free hosting with brinkster support these forums. Ive uploaded the forum to a folder called /forum/ and the Snitz_Forums_2000.mdb is in the db root directory. I need help getting this running, especially the strConnString bit, im using the access database that came with the forum and my host addy is www22.brinkster.com/stey77/forum .Please help, ive never done anything like this before. A strConnString to copy and paste would be a dream come true. When you try to access my forum you will see the config text page, theres a strConnString in there that someone suggested to another brinkster user and i just changed the user nane, no luck.

just to clarify one thing, the database is in a folder called /db/ which is the default directory for database files. Hope this helps. sorry for being so thick! I wait with baited breath! :)

This one should work for you:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("\stey77\db\snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path |

and also when i try to open the database with microsoft access (part of office 2000) it says the database is an old one. At the end of the strConnString u posted it says its for access 2000, will this make a difference? I'm desperate to sort this out. Also I'm not too sure what section 2 of the installation instructions means, could anyone explain it in newbie terms for me please bearing in mind the info given above. Thanks for your time.
