| 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. |

In line 75, as the error refer to this is the only think written there: my_Conn.Open strConnString

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?
