I am using the default database using the line
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/database/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path

and whenever i try to run default.asp I get
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

'd:\ww\database\snitz_forums_2000.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to
the server on which the file resides.

/dmacken/inc_top.asp, line 42

why does it automatically add this d:/ww/ stuff? how do I fix that?

the d:/ww/ is what the server is returning for Server.MapPath

Did you install the forum on your own server, or on a hosted server?

You can go here:

and download the Where Am I? (.ASP) file. Just follow the intructions provided to find the physical path to your database.
