Sorry, I'm new to this forum, didn't realize I can't attach the file or that your email address wasn't posted. I'm not setup with any file share/host, Do you recommend one? I will just copy it here for now to save time. THANK YOU!!

localhost does not work with SQL express databases, you have to use the instance name it was setup with, which is generally either just a name or name\instancename (logging in to sql express manager should tell you what it's name is) Snitz does not assume anything else to be setup, it just requires your database connection string.

Did you uncomment the correct dbType ? and only one of them, similarly only one connstr should be un-commented

I've even read somewhere to try the native client provider for 2005 Express, and I did and it didn't work either. I have another question..... In the SQL Management Studio Express, in the Server Properties and Database Properties box, under Permissions, there is a list of users at the top and a long list of permissions listed at the bottom. The only box that is checked by default is the Connect box. Do any of the others need to be checked?

no, and if you can login to management studio as the user you have in your config then it doesn't sound like that is the problem.

when you connect to management studio, is the servername in the login box the same as the datasourcename in config.asp ?

Yes it is the same in Management Studio and .udl file on my local computer and it is also the same in ODBC that I tested connection with on server.

from what I can gather errocode 424 means it is failing to create the connection object, so it is failing this code
CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

so may not be a sql issue at all, it is something missing on the server maybe

So, if my connection string is correct, then it must be something else that is keeping the database from opening from the web browser. I've been searching and trying ideas for over a week..... like i said, i first tried an access database because our intranet directory was already created in Access and I wasnt as familiar with SQL. I had my local computer set up as a test server and the dynamic .asp pages connected/opened the directory in Access just fine. Then, when I uploaded to server, they could not open the Access database the directory was in. I ended up converting the directory database to xml and recreating those pages. Then I was asked to create a forum for the Intranet and thought I would try Access again. Thats when I got the first Cannot open database error from Snitz. So, I thought maybe it was an Access thing, so that's when I decided to try SQL and its giving the same error. I was trying to leave out the "story" at first, but now I think it might help troubleshoot the problem.

I reinstalled MDAC on the server from the link you provided and I still get the error. I read somewhere that IIS6 doesnt need Server.CreateObject but only CreateObject.....not sure I might try that.

you do not need to change the forumcode to work with IIS6, it is VB that does not need the Server. ASP does need it.
This forum is running under the same environment that you are using, there must be something missing in the server setup that is causing the problem. When you tried it with access was it giving the same error or was the error different?

I believe it might have been a "failed to create object" too. Its been about a month ago, I'm trying to remember.... The error didn't look quite the same because this one is generated by Snitz I guess. So, If the SQL server works find alone, then I guess I need to research what might be keeping my .asp pages from opening and creating objects in the database through my web browser?!
