I was wondering if someone with more knowledge than me (my knowledge is very small) can help me. After installing the fully Moded forum, I have this error come up when trying to run it:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Operation must use an updateable query.
/forums/forum/inc_func_common.asp, line 189
Line 189 in inc_func_common.asp is :
my_conn.execute (strSql)
At first I thought this was a permission problem, so I contacted my host and asked them to set the permissions on the forum folders to READ/WRITE, but they already were set. Any ideas what it could be causing this problem?
I then tried deleting line 189, just to see what happens. The forum then ran, but came up with an error mentioning a line in another file (can't remember which file) that reffered to my_conn.execute again. What is this my_conn.execute? How can I fix this problem?
I'm hoping someone can help me, as I have very little knowledge of programming and so far this forum has helped me very much so far with my other forum ( a basic snitz with a few mods).
Thankyou in advance. |

| this is always a permissions problem. It's not the forum folder that needs read/write, it's the database. Make sure your host sets the NTFS permissions on the database so that the IUSR_machinename account has write access. |

| Ok, now I'm confused. The database folder that I have the snitz_forums_2000.mdb file in (which I have renamed) is the same folder that I have my other forum's file in. This other forum works fine. What's going on? |

| Ok, I've figured it out, I had the config.asp pointing to the other forum's database file. I just changed the config.asp to point to the new file. Thanks for your help guys, I was literally pulling my hair out. Now to play with the new forum... |
