mabey because im too stubborn or just too damm proud i have been pounding my head against this computer screen for almost two weeks now. I surrender. I used a nondns ASP search page to find the exact path to my forum, forum.mdb, the path was returned as "www/htdocs/modkillers" i added the /fpdb, as its off my root in a directory 'fpdb' for a path of strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/www/htdocs/modkillers/fpdb/forum.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
i removed the ' from both the strDBType and the strConnString. I also changed all the chmod files and directories to 777, just to get the damm thing working :) however all i can get is 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.
Are you using NT/W2K or Linux with Chili!Asp If you are using Linux with Chili!Asp, then you can't use a DSN-less connection in combination with Access but will need to create a DSN to the Access database.
quote: umm that i dont know. i know its a unix server. can i do that or do i have to get the hosting ppl to ?
If it is a Unix server and you can run ASP on it, then it probably is a server with Chili!Asp. You probably have a webbased interface to do that, but you better check with the host. They probably know exactly what to do.
If it works, please post here with instructions, because this question is asked a lot.
I just finished emailing them with a copy of what you had posted before. I really appreshaite your help and as soon as they return any usable input back to me ill add it to this topic. thanks !
