Here is the connect string I use on Brinkster:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/richardkasp/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
you should move your database from the /forum/tools directory to the /db directory that is provided by Brinkster.
Then just replace richardkasp above with your username.
