I installed it on a win2000 machine, put the DB in another folder let's say-
c:\inetpub\db\website\snitz_forums_2000.mdb
I chose the path above, pasted it in and chose ACCESS and the Access 2000 option in the config file.
**I did not change the table prefix or the member table prefix ( left it at default) because I do not know what this is for.
Should I have somethign in there? My server currently runs ASP fine.
I'm not an asp developer, but can follow it ok. Please Help!

The error msg on the setup looks like this (below) but everything is correct. The folder I put the Db in has everyone read write execute, delete, etc. Here's the error on screen:
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
Click here to retry.

If that's the default database, make sure you use the 97 connection string...

Just wanted to thank Maxwell for helping me so much!
He let me know that the MDB that came with the ZIP file, needed to be upgraded to ACCESS 2000- i didn't realize that it was an access 97 db, and in win2k/access2k, it doesn't like not having it in specifically access2000 format. SO he let me know that I needed to :
open access (not the db)
tools
database utilities
convert db
(point it to the current Db)
then rename it to new version
go to config file and repoint to the new version (or simply delete the old, and rename the new)
This was awesome- but it still didn't work...
It turned out that I didn't have the IUSR_<machine name> set correctly for read write permissions, and when I set permissions on the folder for the database, it still didn't work... ???
But but then i put the read/write permissions on just the MDB itself, and it worked!!!
YAHOOO and Kudos to the man... MAXWELL for helping me through that! WHOOO HOOOOO!
