change a line...
and i take it you think that we can smell what you mean? we cannot.
it would help if you post where you read that and in which file that line should be changed (although i think you mean config.asp)

Read the Installation Guide by clicking the link in my signature below. That should help a bit.
Also make sure you use the Brinkster files. You can get them here: http://www.ls3k.com/snitz/temp.asp

Download the Access 2000 database from http://www.snitz.info and then remove the quotes I showed in red. Then upload your database to the db folder on your brinkster account and change the line in green to fit your information.

Please go to http://www.webbhost.net if you want to get more information about hosts that other people use for Snitz. That site was set up specifically to provide that information to people using Snitz that need a host.

Well you're supposed to replace USERNAME with your Brinkster username, so you do the math.
10MB will be enough for starters. Once you get more posts and more members your database will grow and it might get over it's limit. So keep an eye on the database and start looking for a decent host early enough.

Frutzle already told you what you needed to change in config.asp (and the Installation Guide also tells you what needs to be changed).
You may want to use whereami.asp to obtain the path to use in the connections string. It can be obtained here:
http://www.heptite.com/snitzinfo/whereami.zip .Just extract the asp file inside, upload it to your site and execute it to get the path to use in the connection string.
