I get this error message when I try to open the default.asp file:
ADODB.Connection.1 error '800a0bb9'
The application is using arguments that are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.
inc_top.asp, line 42

You might try using a different strConnString
If you are using one that is labeled for use with Access97, try the one for Access2000 and vice versa. |

Thanks, I have now tried that, but to no avail. I'm wondering is I have written it correctly:
& Server.MapPath("../cgi-bin/snitz_forums_2000.mdb")
My .mdb is in the cgi-bin. Would I be better off using a relative or an absolute path?
Is this the correct syntax if my cgi-bin is located on the same hierarchical level as my forum folder??
Thanks for your help!

Still get the same error message. Whatever is wrong?
I'm trying to open the default.asp page ...
\cgi-bin\(database)
\forum
\forum\tools
That's my set up.

I've tried them both 100 times and now I've run that script and all...
Still don't work!!
Could it be something to do with my server host? (Access not supported or something?)
Now I'm getting sent straight to setup.asp when I try to access default.asp...
???

Is this the URL for where you are trying to install your forum?
http://www.ingulfsen.com/forum/
If so, this is the error I get when I just tried it:
quote:
HTTP Error 506
506 ASP Not Available
The ASP service is unavailable for this host. Please check the URL to ensure that the path is correct.
Please contact the server's administrator if this problem persists.

It might have to do with an older version of ADO being installed on that server.
Can you try this:
Right-click on the following link and choose "Save Target As" and then download the file.
http://richard.cfm-resources.com/testver.txt
Rename it to testver.asp and then upload it to your /forum directory
I just want to see what version of ADO is running on that server. |

Ok, I'll contact my host. I think he's got Unix servers...
Thank you for your time
Also, I have a suggestion: How about those smilies could be used without adding the annoying []?

Once you get your forum setup you can edit the code used to insert the smilies so that you don't have to use the brackets around it.
It's there so that people can use :) (and other emoticons) without it being converted to a smilie icon. |

Can I have personalized icons for the members?
I should probably do a forum search, I know, I know...
