As i stated in your last topic ( http://forum.snitz.com/forum/topic.asp?ARCHIVE=&TOPIC_ID=13735 ) you should try and download the latest drivers if you are using PWS, it worked for me

Are you running the forum on your own computer??? If you are and have win 98 you need to update your drivers.
Download the drivers from here:

I'm sorry, I have to ask, but what does a script timeout error have to do with what drivers the user has on his server? Isn't there other simplier options you can try before considering the problem is an outdated driver?
nswan, what database are you using?
have you tried going to the default.asp page instead?

Hi,
I'm using(or trying too!) the Access 97 db.
I tried the default.asp page and it timed out as well.
Thanks

Can you post your connection string and your dbtype from your config.asp file?

strDBType = "access"
first i tried -
strConnString = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver(*.mdb)}DBQ=/message/snitz_forums_2000.mdb"
this came up with the error saying the path is incorrect. I am 99.99% sure that it is right though.
So i tried
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51; Data Source=/message/snitz_forums_2000.mdb"
and it times out(i tried 3.51 and 4 with both having the same result).
The server guys have gone to make sure that MDAC is on there, so may be that will provide a solution.
cheers
Nick.

Nick,
Try:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.3.51; Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/message/snitz_forums_2000.mdb")
you can't use relative paths (urls) in the connectionstring.

Well,
I've the same problem.
But I try to run version 3.3.02 on a Cobalt server with MySQL.
Connectios string is ok.
(version 3.1 is running on this machine too, without problems)
I can't upgrade or even setup a fresh forum.
Every time a timeout....
Dennis
