Hello,
I installed snitz a few months a go on clients website, they have recently moved servers so they are getting the following error:

[code]
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Cannot open database requested in login 'P56_CS'. Login fails.

/forums/inc_header.asp, line 111
[code]

I tried changing the strConnString in the config.asp but Im still getting the same problem.

I'm thinking i'll need to run
" setup.asp?RC=5 "
again? but have a bad feeling that will overwrite all their existing tables (deleting all member info).

Any idea on what i need to do here to sort this?

thanks in advance!

Sorry this isn't a bump,
but im getting this error and loss of styling:

ADODB.Recordset error '800a0bb9'

Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.

/forums/forum.asp, line 330

from reading other posts setup.asp should fix this but will it delete any forum posts or members etc?

Setup.asp will not overwrite existing data in your database. Setup.asp does three things:

- Creates the tables if you are setting up a new forum.

- Updates the table structures if you are upgrading your forum.

- Repopulates the application variables based on what's currently stored in your configuration table.

As you are not setting up a new forum nor upgrading, it will just perform the last action for you.

Also note that, rather than making multiple posts in quick succession, you can and should edit your post using the relevant icon that appears above it.

So... just run setup.asp, simple, no parameters.
