it has never happened before (and I havenīt changed anything), but from now I get:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Unspecified error
/forum/inc_top.asp, line 304
at
http://www.alphaville.dk/forum/
the rest of my site (which also includes an ASP chat and ASP guestbook works perfectly).
Any ideas? This is not good...!

But the guest-page is broken also, so there might be something wrong with your database ?

hmmm - the guestbook works fine from here, please refresh and see.
I contacted my provider about this, apparently itīs a server problem.

Hey that is strange, the guestbook works now, I am pretty sure it didn't work before....I think...I can't recreate the problem anymore.

but more importantly the forum is still down - I donīt know what to do, other than I contacted my provider and have them look it at permissions on my page, they must have changed something, because I sure havenīt.

You are using Access, right ?
Could you rename you existing database and copy an empty one from the zipfile into the directory to see if that brings the forum back online.
If it does, you know it has something to do with the database file, if it doesn't it probably is the driver/server and only your ISP can fix that.

yes, I use Access, but if I do this I want to make sure I donīt delete the existing database, do I keep the old setting in the config.asp ?

You can:
1) rename the existing database, copy a default Snitz Forums database with the "old" name into that directory and keep the config.asp the same
or
2) copy a new default Snitz Forums database with a different name as the existing database into the directory and change the config.asp so it points to the new database.

just noticed this:
in my http://www.alphaville.dk/forum/inc_top.asp
it says:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'
[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified
/forum/inc_top.asp, line 42
so it must the driver, right? (so not my fault, but my provider, am I right?)

Well, that error normally occurs when you either have the destination of your database wrong in the strConnString, or forgot the uncomment the strConnString in config.asp
But since your forum worked before, I expect that to be ok.
You could try switching from JET -> ODBC in config.asp, see what happens then.
But I think, like you, that you need you ISP to have a look at this.

yeah, if you notice, everything else on my website works just fine except the stuff (forum and guestbook) that are using databases. Even my ASP chat works fine, but it doesnīt use a database, so it must my ISP.

wii,
I recieved you mail, but don't really understand what you wanted me to do.
Any chance you can get online using a messenger ?
You can contact me using MSN Messenger -> P_Gorissen@hotmail.com
or Yahoo -> pgoris01 or ICQ -> 12206893 or AIM -> PGoris01

Ok, wii and I talked and tested the connection to the database...it wasn't something in the forumcode...it wasn't a corrupt database...wii is going to contact his ISP to see if they can fix it on the server.

ok, Gor and I did some tests.
apparently the database is not corrupted, what I did was upload a testfile, and tested it, but it gave the same result, so itīs my provider that has a problem, not the code, not the database.
get the file here:
