Try upgrading the database to access 2000 and changing the connection string to one of the access 2000 ones...

Hmm ok, its just that I always thought that "ODBC Drivers" occured when using an access 97 connection string at least, does the connection string you use have start like this?


strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=


Also when did you convert the database as the one that comes with snitz is access 97 fornat.

Well then the database is in access 97 format, like I said before try upgrading the database to access 2000, if you dont have access 2000/XP then I can try and do it for you.

After that is done you will also need to change the connection string so it starts with

strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=

In the config.asp file, if I recall correctly this error is normally fixed after upgrading the database

That line is trying to open a connection to the database, I dont know why this just happens all of a sudden.

If you upgrade the database you will not lose any data

To upgrade load up access, when you get the file open prompt press cancel, then go to "Tools > Database Utilities > Convert Database > To current access version"
Then you will get the standard open file screen, find your database and press convert thats it

It will be snitz_forums_2000.mdb if you did not change it yes, and you will also have to change the connection string in config.asp after that it should work...

English looks good to me, better than my Danish at least

Cant give you a line number, your current connection string may look like this


strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97


It would need to be changed to this


strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forum_2000.mdb"



If you look in your current config.asp file after line 52 you will have removed the ' from the start of a line if you post whats on that line I should be able to work it out or someone else will

Hmm not sure, are you sure the connection string is correct and that the database is in the C:\WINNT\system32\ folder?
