You forgot several backslashes. I'm just guessing where they go.

I get this message:

The database could not be opened !!
Check your config.asp file and set the
strConnString so it points to the database.
Also check if strDBType is set to the right databasetype.



Code : 80004005

Error Description :
Unspecified error

Did you uncomment the strDBType too? Are you sure that is the path for your database directory?

Try this. There is a whereami.asp file in the tools.zip file that came with the download. Upload that to your forum directory and post the results here.

Where Am I?


snitz_forums_2000.mdb is used as an example database name.
If you have changed the name of your database, you'll need to change it in the strConnString example shown below, as well.

Physical Path to Database: E:\home\Default\stonesthrowfans.com\htdocs\forum\snitz_forums_2000.mdb

Example strConnString:

This one will work with either Access97, Access2000 or Access2002:

strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=E:\home\Default\stonesthrowfans.com\htdocs\forum\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 2000



Use the following only if you can't get the first one to work
One reason could be that your host doesn't have the MSJet Drivers installed:

strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=E:\home\Default\stonesthrowfans.com\htdocs\forum\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97

Okay, so based on this, your path needs to be:

strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=e:\home\Default\stonesthrowfans.com\htdocs\forum\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 2000

Notice, whereami said you were on drive e and the directory is forum, not forum2.

I wouldn't advise having the database in the folder where you have the forum files too. That's a big security risk.
