k, something wrong here. I uploaded the 'forum' folder in the root directory on my server. I put the 'snitz_forums_2000.mdb' file in a seperate folder called 'db' on the root directory. The permissions are set for read/write.
I try to run forum.asp and I get a 'There is a problem with the page you are trying to reach and it cannot be displayed.' error. Other times I get the blue box msg :
***
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 : -2147467259
***
I set the database type to ' strDBType = "access" '. (by uncommenting).
I set the connection type to 'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/db/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path'. (again, by uncommenting)
I tried changing the MapPath to the entire url (ie: http://www.whatever.com/db/snitz...), and without the forward slash (ie: db/snitz...), but neither did anything.
Also, after going to the url, it automatically transfers me to the default.asp file...
Any idea's? 
btw : Can we add a 'confused' happy face? 
Cheers,
