Why don't you tell us what's your host? Then we can confirm if your host support ASP or not.
It's good to do the Impossible, But it's no longer call the impossible when it's doable. |

It doesn't sound like your host support Active Server Page. Let's try this. Open the Windows Notepad, write this code:
<%
Response.Write "Hello Cruel World"
%>
Save it as hello.asp, then upload it to your webserver. Run that site, for example: www3.telus.net/hello.asp . If you only see "Hello Cruel World", it means that your host support ASP, however if you see the code above, or your are asked to download that file, it simply mean your webhost server doesn't support ASP. Try it!

Well, it would be great if you could get another host that support ASP. I know one free server: www.brinkster.com , but frankly, it's very inconvenient. The server is slow, and it doesn't give FTP access. For the long run, you won't like it.

I believe websamba.com is free and does offer ASP and FTP.
Try looking in the Forum Hosting forum for more information on (free) hosts.

Download whereami.zip from http://www.frutzle.com/snitz/whereami.zip and upload the ASP file from that ZIP to your account at websamba. Then open it in your browser. It'll show you a path (like D:\Freehost16\username\whereami.asp). Use that path to locate your database and fill that path in to the strConnString like this:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=D:\Freehost16\username\yourdatabase.mdb" '## MS Access 2000
Also uncomment the correct database type.
Let me know if this helped or not.

If you'd opened find.asp you'd have gotten this path:
D:\freehost13\motolife\snitz_forums_2000.mdb
This means that if you're using the original Access 97 database that comes with version 3.3.03 of the Snitz forums, and you've uploaded it to the same directory as find.asp, you're supposed to enter D:\freehost13\motolife\snitz_forums_2000.mdb in your config.asp like this:
strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=D:\freehost13\motolife\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
Also remove the apostrophe in front of strDBType = "access" as you will be using an Access database.
One tip: rename your database. Because you don't have a protected folder for it, everyone who knows the name of your database will be able to download it.
I hope this helps.

In the ZIP of the forums, there's another ZIP file called "tools". Unzip it and you'll have a file called "snitz_forums_2000.mdb".
That's your DataBase file. Unless you upload that too, your forums won't ever work.
