Ok, I've looked all through this forum and nothing is helping. I've given the right access privilages to the folders, used the .mdb file that came with the .zip, done the whereami.asp, running on win2k server, etc. but I keep getting this on the default.asp


Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Cannot open a database created with a previous version of your application.

/forum/inc_top.asp, line 42


and a Code : -2147467259 on setup.asp.

it looks like I'm getting the path to the .mdb right (because it's atleast found it to see what version it is) but I can't get pasted this. HELP! thnx..

Which connect string are you using? (can you post the exact connect string you are using?)

You might try updating the MDAC and MSJET drivers on your server:

wow thnx for the quick reply...my config.asp

'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"

'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=d:\64.226.208.79\db/forum.mdb" '## MS Access 97
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("../db/forum.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=d:\64.226.208.79\db\forum.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
'strConnString = "driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER_NAME;uid=SQL_USER;pwd=PASSWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MS SQL Server 7
'strConnString = "driver=MySQL;server=SERVER_NAME;uid=MYSQL_USER;pwd=PARRWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MySQL

strTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
strMemberTablePrefix = "FORUM_"

I don't have access to my server to do that..it is hosted by interland.com.

Here is one thing to try:

change your connect string to this:

strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/db/forum.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path


Also, do you have Microsoft Access 2000? If so, you can convert the database to MS Access 2000 (right now it's MS Access 97). If not, let me know and I can send you a MS Access 2000 version of the default database.
