| There is a file in the Snitz download called "whereami.asp" that will help you check the location. I'm just getting this sneaky suspicion that the location isn't the problem... |

Marshall,
Looks like I keep getting a corrupted file. I tried C&P but it takes me to the same place. The only thing I could get to work is right click>save link as (Firefox on a Mac) but the file won't extract now. |

The whereami.asp file is in a file called "tools.zip" that should have been a part of the download.
I'm not entirely sure. For the sake of being thorough, I'm just trying to make sure that all the potential issues have been covered. I'd hate to spend two weeks on aspect of the problem only to find it was something completely different.  |

AnonJr, ah, ok, well it told me a very long path which...I mean, I don't know where all those folders come from...but it looks like it's trying my local machine for it with those examples :/
Where Am I?
snitz_forums_2000.mdb is used as an example database name.
If you have changed the name of your database, you'll need to change it in the strConnString example shown below, as well.
Physical Path to Database: \\nawinfs03\home\users\web\b1635\rh.dodge\forum\mdb\snitz_forums_2000.mdb
Example strConnString:
This one will work with either Access97, Access2000 or Access2002:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\nawinfs03\home\users\web\b1635\rh.dodge\forum\mdb\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 2000
Use the following only if you can't get the first one to work
One reason could be that your host doesn't have the MSJet Drivers installed:
strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=\\nawinfs03\home\users\web\b1635\rh.dodge\forum\mdb\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
==========
MarshalMix, sorry I got your name wrong...didn't notice that! Sorry. Also, the script causes an error...it is supposed to be in /forum right?
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c'
Path not found
/forum/browser.asp, line 20 |

Thanks a ton!!!
We are allowed to edit the source, images, etc, as long as we keep the "powered by" at the bottom, correct? |

| That is correct. You need to keep the copyright info in the source (you'll know it when you see it) and the "Powered By" at the bottom. |

Thanks so much for the help, both of you. Sorry the answer is unknown :/
Can you subscribe to a topic so it will email you? I don't see it on these forums? |

You can set it up for your own forum. Here it is turned off for all but (I think) one of the forums... but since I hardly ever leave the Active Topics page I don't recall which one it is. 
Just keep in mind that as a general rule, the more active your forum is and the more subscriptions you have the slower it will run. This isn't necessarily always true, and there are exceptions. |
