can someone show me how to make life simple in installing this with access 2000. I want to use a dsn less set up where all you have to do is to upload this forum to a folder with read/write permission and a default.asp and the forum should start.
Change the line in config.asp with the access 2000 comment on it to the location which contains the database. Start from the root. Make sure the database and directory have read/write permissions on them. You should then be good to go.

Thanks. I found that down when I read about the tools.zip folder. Man, that was tricky.
It is a real simple thing to do once you know where to look. You also need to upzip the tools.zip that come with the download to get .dbm file and upload that with the rest, then unremark the line ending with '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path in the config.asp file and change the path to "yourcompany.com/forum/snitz_forums_2000.mdb" where forum is the folder that you just upload these files( if you named it forum). Make sure this folder has write permission. That is it.
Now I am trying to figure out how to add more forums to this. Where can find the instructions? anyone? Thanks
