I trying to re set up my forum because my server who set it up the first time still hasn't gotten around to fixing it after 2 months, I have followed the directions and now I get the following message:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'. It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.
/balltalk/inc_header.asp, line 111
I am about ready to try to use a different forum system

I have tried all of them and with some I get this error
There has been an error !!
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 : 80004005
Error Description :
Unspecified error
I have used the whereami.asp file and I still can't get it to work

| Would it have anything to do with using FrontPage for my webpage? My webpage is http://www.cranbrookmixedslopitch.com/ and my forum is in a folder called balltalk |

I went to you setup.asp page and it said:
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 : 80004005
Error Description :
Unspecified error
When you uploaded the forum with FrontPage, did FrontPage ask you to allow the database to be put in a folder called fpdb? If so, did you click yes? I also went to your inc_header.asp page and it said:
Your strDBType is not set, please edit your config.asp
to reflect your database type.
Depending on your database type, you need to remove the ' in front of one of the following:
'strDBType = "sqlserver"
'strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql" |

I just changed it to a different string and now I am getting this:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Unspecified error
/balltalk/inc_header.asp, line 111
is this something I can work with? If it is finding the database and I just have to change some code I could do that

| My issue is that it is a slo-pitch website and its at this very specific time of year that everyone visits my site, our season starts at the end of this month so people want to post about picking up players, rules, ect. and I have waited 2 months for my server to fix it with not luck, they just keep saying they are working on it. I paid them to set it up in the first place so I wouldn't have to deal with it but not I am very frustrated with them and the amount of email I am receiving because the forum is down. I have used the Snitz forum since my site went up 2 years ago and I have realy liked it. |

This is the physical path to your database:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cranbrookmixedslopitch.com\balltalk\snitz_forums_2000.mdb
Find the line in config.asp that deals with Access 2000 and replace it with this (It's the third one down):
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\cranbrookmixedslopitch.com\balltalk\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 2000 |

| You may need to change the path to reflect where your database is. For example, you may need to replace balltalk in the above line to fpdb if you allowed FrontPage to place your database in the fpdb folder. |

| Also, if you renamed your database to something else, you'll need to reflect that in that line. For example, change snitz_forums_2000.mdb to the name of your database. |

I changed it and it must have been close to what I had because I am getting the same error now:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Unspecified error
/balltalk/inc_header.asp, line 111
would know why this is? |

Does your strDBType look like this in config.asp?
'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql" |
