place the db in inetpub, not in a separate folder. that folder (inetpub) will have the correct rights

I know this may sound stupid, but:
Are you sure you are using the correct name for the database?
Also did you set the permissions using Windows explorer?
I apologize if this does look stupid.

Rune what's your connection string. Also, did you try to use whereami.asp?

It had to be an NT issue. I am stumped though, cuz I had it working with my original config in an earlier install.

strDBType = "access"

... and this is my whereami results that's in the same Inetpub folder:

Look for this line at about line 58:
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 2000
Change it to say (all one one line):
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 2000
I've tried it as "\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" as "\Inetpub\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" as "C:\Inetpub\snitz_forums_2000.mdb", etc
I have the db file in the Inetpub directory and have verified the name.
I just no it's going to be something simple that I"m overlooking.

What permissions does the Internet Guest Account has for the c:\inetpub folder? Check that with Windows Explorer, by right clicking the folder name, choosing Properties on the popup menu and selecting the Security tab.

Oh, for cryin' out ... /me bangs head on wall repeatedly ...
I had so many windows open of browsers, explorer folders, readme files, etc ... that I got a little confused ... I was editting the config.asp file that was in the directory where Snitz was first installed ... not the config.asp that's in the directory where I copied it to in my server directories. I was editting the wrong copy and was dumbstruck as to why it never seemed to make any change.
Any way we can forget this whole thing and start from scratch or should I just re-register under a different name next time so I don't get responses like "Are you sure your computer's turned ON?"

Yes, that happens to all of us. That's why I sometimes insist in asking seemingly stupid questions  .
