I had the forum up and running on Win NT 4 w/ IIS 4. Now when I try to go to the forum I get the message:
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.
here is my connect string:
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=d:\inetpub\cgi\TopIIIforum.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
The IUSER does have full permission to that mdb file....any ideas?

Is the database directory and file name correct? (Just making sure because I've done that). Also make sure you've got the strdbType set to Access

Yes, all of that is correct...it is still set the same way that it was working before the OS upgrade...nothing has moved...

is it possible that my Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0 driver is bad? If so, how would I check/verify/update that?

well, just found the problem (ntfilemon is such a cool program) I needed to give more extensive permission to the c:\temp directory (why that changed from before I have no idea) I went ahead and gave "everyone" full control of the Temp dir, and now everything seems to be fine.
Kinda stupid when someone asks a question, and then answers their same question, huh? Well, maybe it will help out someone else..
cheers

Is ntfilemon part of the NT reskit, and is it part of the W2K reskit?

Please tell me more about your situation, I have a same thing happened like you when I successfully install Snitz on NT server. But not on 2000 server > I don't know why?
You said you open Temp folder to everyone but I saw your database located at:
Source=d:\inetpub\cgi\TopIIIforum.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000 (from previous post)
Please explan why
Thank you in advance!

Win2k is more security conscientious about security. You do not need to enable write permissions for the entire directory. Just change the properties for the database itself. Right click the access file, go to the security tab and change it to full control for everyone.
