| Right. I knew that. Just did it to be safe. I usually just type in the address - any defaults. It is easier that way. Otherwise you have to know whether it is index or default and whether is .htm, .pl, .asp, and so on... |

redduck87, you did a great job of explaining but the hardest part, as you've mentioned, is where I'm lost. The permission where we can write is in the wwwroot folder. So I have a folder names messageboard. I have all the files in there and I've also named the .mdb file to what i want to name it. Now, I put the mdb inside a whatsthis folder so it read like this?
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("whatsthis/whatsthis(thenameofthis mdb file).mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
But nothing works, what am i missing? thanks guys |

strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\W3Sites\secert\db\secert.mdb" '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path |

If you would like the page to open in a new window:
<a href="http://www.yoursite.com/forum/default.asp" target=_window>Forum</A>
I've never heard of using target="_window" to open a link in a new window. AFAIK it's target="_blank"
See http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-layout#special for more info on reserved target names |

Everyone has there own method I guess. Go to My Home Page and click on the Forum link at your left. It opens in a new window. The code that I use to make it do this is as follows:
<TD width=115><A href="http://forums.thepoultrylink.com/"
target=_window><B><FONT face=Arial color=#cc0000 size=-1><SPAN
style="FONT-SIZE: 12px">Forum</SPAN></FONT></B></A></TD>

| FYI, _window is used to open the link in a specified window by also passing the name of the window. The reason it opens a new window for you is because you haven't specified a window name. The correct way of opening a brand new window where you aren't specifying a name is to use _blank. |

| I have also learned to use target="_new" here (see: www.dembrowski-art-and-science.com/ in the My Area, My Artwork section), but I've never yet set up a forum and am just starting to poke around. I, too, have a lot of learning to do. Thanx, guys, I'll be back. |
