I want to use a dns connection string for my database, this because i'm switching hosts and need my database to be in one particular folder. Is this correct:
strConnString = "DSN=Forum" '## DSN

Quoting from config.asp:

strConnString = "DSN_NAME"

where DSN_NAME is the name given to the dsn when it was created.

What's the name of the connection? Forum, right? So, no, the connection string in your first post is wrong and the second one you posted, in your reply, is correct.

DNS = Domain Name Server
DSN = Data Source Name

The name of the DSN is the name that you or your ISP configured to the path of the database.
