This is what I changed and have in config.asp file:

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

'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=http://www20.brinkster.com/ifbb/tools/snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/fpdb/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path
'strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\inetpub\dbroot\forum.snitz.com\snitz_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_"

This I have when trying open setup.asp file:

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.

your problem is you can't reference the db using a URL address.

Try using this line

strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("/tools/snitz_forums_2000.mdb") '## MS Access 2000 using virtual path

however I think on brinkster they normally give you a db directory in which to place your db

New problem:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

'\\genfs2\www20\db\snitz_forums_2000.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

/ifbb/inc_top.asp, line 42

I have checked all files and can NOT find the shown wrong path in ANY of the files.

I don't think you can use a unc path either, it must be a physical path or a server.mapped path

??? I changed all paths to a db path on a server, but still have the shown message and can not find in which file it is done wrong.
