I am having problems with Spell Checker. It appears to be my path to the database. I am unclear how to properly enter the path.

spellConnStr = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/database/dictionary2000.mdb")

The above path is the default from the Zip file.

My database on my test machine is very simple. C:\\snitz\dictionary2000.mdb

I have tried the following path

spellConnStr = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("C:\\snitz\dictionary2000.mdb")

I get the following message when I click on the ABC icon:

Error Type:
Server.MapPath(), ASP 0172 (0x80004005)
The Path parameter for the MapPath method must be a virtual path. A physical path was used.
/engineering-forums/pop_spellcheck.asp, line 47

What am I doing wrong?

Try:
spellConnStr = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\snitz\dictionary2000.mdb")

Thanks Nikkol for the quick response.

I tried that path and came up with the following error.

Technical Information (for support personnel)

Error Type:
Microsoft VBScript compilation (0x800A0401)
Expected end of statement
/engineering-forums/pop_spellcheck.asp, line 47, column 62
spellConnStr = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source="C:\snitz\dictionary2000.mdb")

I tried it with and without the ) at the end of the string. Am I still missing something in the presentation of the string.

Try removing the bold red quote sign.

I am always amazed how quickly help comes. Thanks again.
