How do you setup a hyperlink from an existing website to a locally ran Forum. I was able to get the Forum to run independently but unable to setup a hyperlink/hover button from my website.
Thanks

Yes I host locally. I have an existing website running and would like add a link to point to the message Forum that is also ran locally. I only have one domain. If I take down the website and run the forum it runs great. But if I run the website and link to the forum here is my error.
There has been an error !!
The database could not be opened !!
Check your config.asp file and set the
strConnString so it points to the database.
Also check if strDBType is set to the right databasetype.
Code : -2147467259
Thanks for your help!

Whats the URL?
Do you mean link the databases??
If not, i dont know y you are getting an error.
The forum should be in a sub folder of your root file

The Forum is in a sub-dir from the website. Permissions are the same as the website. The link points to default.asp in the Forum and when clicked on it goes to the Forum but gives the database error message.

It just means the setup.asp file can't open a connection to your database.
Can you post your strConnString and strDBType from your config.asp file, so we can see if your connection is ok.

Sorry I have not replied earlier. Been out of town. Here is my info. I use Access 2000 for the database.
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
strDBType = "access"
I have the FORUM directory in the root directory of my website.
Thanks.

Thanks guys. Got it to work. It was the path. I thought I tried every path.
I also have it openning in it's own window. Problem is the graphics are gone and I get an error message when I try to go into a Forum.
ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bb9'
Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.
/forum/forum.asp, line 197

Can you post a link to your forum?
Also can you post what is on your line 197 of your forum.asp file and 10 lines before that?
What version are you using?
