i have access 2000. whenever i have to edit the forum database, it tells me that i have to convert it first.
ok, so i do that and change the strConnString in config.asp to the Access 2000 line, but the forum will not open the database for some reason. even when i run the setup.asp file, all it says is that it cannot find the database.
When you convert the db it makes a new .mdb file with a new name. You should only need to convert to Access 2000 format one time and then use the new .mdb file for future stuff. Make sure your connection string has the right .mdb filename in it.
okay, when i convert the database, i renamed it to snitz_dbase.mdb.
then i went to my config.asp file and changed the name in the MSAccess2000 strConnString to read that file: strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data; Source=c:\Inetpub\wwwroot\forum\tools\snitz_dbase.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
but when i went back to my browser and tried to go to my forum, i got this error message: The database could not be opened !! Check your config.asp file and set the strConnString so it points to the database. Also check if strDBType is set to the right databasetype.
Code : -2147467259
so i don;t know what could be causing it not to read the database after the conversion.
