I set up snitz forum with no difficulties (great program, very easy to add to my site), and even added a few mods successfully. The last thing I did before I ran into problems was upload the files for the snitz_polls mod. I tried to run mod_dbsetup, but for some reason it didn't seem to find poll_dbsetup.asp, as nothing showed up in the update menu except an old .dbs file for another mod. I deleted the old .dbs file, then tried to open my /forum/default.asp via my browser, and got this message:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
/games/forum/inc_top.asp, line 42
As my Screen name indicates, I am a total newbie at this stuff (and I was sooo proud of myself for getting as far as I did). Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance!

| did you maybe accidently overwrite your config.asp file? |

That's what he probably might have done, since I left the strConnString and strDBType commented in the config.asp file in the poll mod.
The mod_dbsetup.asp file looks for the poll_dbsetup.dbs file, not poll_dbsetup.asp. Make sure you uploaded both files (the mod_dbsetup.asp and poll_dbsetup.dbs) to your forum folder.

Apparently the version of snitz poll I had was for SR3. It over-wrote a bunch of files (I'm an idiot for not carefully reading the readme file), and caused no end of chaos. Fortunately I have everything backed up, so no big deal. Thanks for the help!

No, the poll mod is for the Snitz Forums 3.1 SR4.
If you had installed mods before adding the Snitz Poll mod, then you would have needed to copy and paste the code from the poll mod files to your forum files. Since you said you have installed a few mods before, then you would have known the routine to copy and paste the code instead of overwriting your files.
