I have the scrolling version, but for some reason, I keep getting a
quote:

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E37)
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'FORUM_ANNOUNCE'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.

error message. Is this because I need Richard's Forum annoncement MOD? If so, where can I get the original. I tried the Exchange, but couldn't find it. Much thanks!

After editing the inc_top and admin_add_announce files, and uploading the needed files, I run the Forum Announcements setup and receive the following message:

Creating table(s)...
CREATE TABLE FORUM_ANNOUNCE( A_ID int IDENTITY (1, 1) NOT NULL , A_AUTHOR;varchar (50);NULL; NOT NULL , A_SUBJECT;varchar (50);NULL; NOT NULL , A_MESSAGE;text;NULL; NOT NULL , A_START_DATE;varchar (50);NULL; NOT NULL , A_END_DATE;varchar (50);NULL; NOT NULL )
-2147217900 | Syntax error in field definition.


When I go back to my forum, I get a "Page cannot be displayed" and the following error with inc_top:
Error Type:
Microsoft JET Database Engine (0x80040E37)
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot find the input table or query 'FORUM_ANNOUNCE'. Make sure it exists and that its name is spelled correctly.
/goup/forum/inc_top.asp, line 313


This is the code from the readme and is what I added:
</table>
</td>
<%
if InstrRev(Request.ServerVariables("Path_Info"), "view_announcements.asp") = 0 then
if InstrRev(Request.ServerVariables("Path_Info"), "admin_") = 0 then
'## Forum_SQL - Build SQL to get forums via category
strSql = "SELECT " & strTablePrefix & "ANNOUNCE.A_ID "
strSql = strSql & "FROM " & strTablePrefix & "ANNOUNCE "

set rschkAnnounce = my_Conn.Execute (strSql)

if rschkAnnounce.eof or rschkAnnounce.bof then '## No Announcements found in DB
Response.Write ""
Else
%>
<tr>
<td>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_announce.asp" -->
</td>
</tr>
<% End If
set rschkAnnounce = nothing
end if
end if
%>
</tr>
</table>


What do I need to do to make this work? Also, I'm running 3.1 SR4. (haven't upgraded yet)

try opening the forum_announcements.dbs file and change all of the semicolons (;) to hash marks (#)

Then run the database setup again.
