Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
'E:\virtwww\iska.group\prokick2\fpdb\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.
/forum/inc_top.asp, line 48
- From what I have read, everything is in the correct please, all uploaded, changed in the config files, and yet I am still getting this, any ideas? |

The location is set, and its exactly the same, what I had was correct, and yet it can't find it. Setup.asp says:
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

Can you post the section you edited in config.asp
just post everything between:
'#################################################################################
'## SELECT YOUR DATABASE TYPE AND CONNECTION TYPE (access, sqlserver or mysql)
'#################################################################################
strTablePrefix = "FORUM_"
strMemberTablePrefix = "FORUM_" |

After the day I got that bit to work, missing " at the end..
For nearly every page, including the default.asp there is this message:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Operation must use an updateable query.
/scripts/inc_functions.asp, line 673
Any ideas about this one?
I'm new to ASP, so excuse me If these are easy, or stupid questions.

Basically it means that the database can't be written to.
The permissions on the directory where the database resides aren't setup correctly. |

As in chmod? Its running on a win2k server, I thought chmod was for *nix systems only.. Or some sort of other permissions?

Do a search for "Operation must use an updateable query." here on the forums. The Search link is at the top right hand corner.
CHMOD is for Unix, that's not what he meant by it. He meant the NT permissions for the directory.

Let me guess... you are using a win2000 server???
This [can] mean that the database is read only when it should be read/write but... you can also get this message on busy busy busy boards with lots of writes to the database.
I have an access website that ran perfect for years on nt4 and after changing to win2000, suddendly started giving intemitent "Operation must use an updateable query." errors - I say intermitent because 90% of the time it was fine, then all at once I'd get a rash of the errors from code that only minutes before was running clean.
Solution? I went back to NT4 and the errors went away - haven't had one in over 3 months.
As usual... YMMV

Edit the properties for the database. Go to the security tab and give write permission. That is why you get this error under win2k.
