Ok, My name is Tia and I am new here.
First off, I don't know a thing about asp coding. I know you probably get that alot, and I apologize. I downloaded the files for the forum, and I think it's great, and i was very confident that I could do it myself, and when i read the read me files, my confidence halted to a complete stop!
So, are there any crash courses online where I can learn asp as soon as possible. I am working on a deadline to get a new site up.
Another thing, I found a great place to host my board. it's at : http://www.brinkster.com/Default.asp . It's especially for asp and you get 30mb for free, they have other plans but they are not free, but they are pretty decent. Oh, and there are no ads, even with the free ones.

Yes, that helped alot, but now I am at a dead end and i get this error everytime I try to run setup.asp in my browser:
quote:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: 'rsConfig'
/pawnusa/config.asp, line 159
Also, the file named "snitz_forum_2000.mdb" , I did not see that included in my download. Am I supposed to create one called that??

Ok, I read around and found out that I got a buggie config.asp file, and i downloaded the new one. Now i get:
quote:
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
I am sure I have the settings right, I can't think of anything else!

It means it cannot open your database.
Can you post your strConnString and your strDBType from your config.asp file, to see if you have it set correctly?
