I am new to Snitz and I am taking over a site that is getting this error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005' [Microsoft]

[ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Cannot open database '(unknown)'. It may not be a database that your application recognizes, or the file may be corrupt.

/forum/inc_top.asp, line 75

Which strConnString are you using? Is this a new install, or an upgrade from a previous one? If it's an upgrade, and your Access Database is currently an Access97 one, then you should upgrade it to Access2000.

I am new to this especially to data websites and forums

I know it was set up back in the summer and I think it was working up until a week ago

Removed all the code. I fail to see the point of posting it and it makes the thread unreadable.

there really isn't any reason to post that code, the problem is with the version of the database. You need to upgrade it from Access97 to Access2000. To do so, you'll need to have Microsoft Access2000.

just download the database, convert it to Access 2000 format using MS Access 2000 and then reupload it. That should be all you'll need to do. If you still get an error, then changing your strConnString would be the next thing to try.

Your host probably updated the MDAC on your server to a version that no longer supports Access97.
