I am still having a problem with the updatable query problem when you first install. I know that it is set up as read/write. Is this a problem if I use SQL or some other database other than access? I set up forums on another webpage provided by the same host and they all worked fine there. I just used the existing ftdb folder but that dont seem to work here.
If your host has SQL Server available on your hosting plan, sometimes they have a utility for you to use to manager your SQL DB.
I would contact them and inquire about it. Basically you just need the SQL DB to be created (you'll need to get the login info from your host). Then it's just a matter of editing config.asp and plugging in the info on the SQL Server strConnString line and then changing the strDBType from Access to SQL. You'll then just run setup.asp and the forum tables will be setup for you.
