Well, this seems to be the million dollar question. I followed the directions to the "T" in regards to file placement.
I changed the config.asp file as follows:
strDBType = "access"
So that I'm using the access version.
I ran the whereami.asp file IN the directory that I placed the database file, copied and pasted the results in the config.asp and changed the filename from whereami.asp to snitz_forums_2000.mdb
I also ensured that all permissions were set to read and write to this file and it's directory. Yet every time I try to run the setup.asp I receive the following error.
"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 : 3001"
I checked with my hosting provider and they do support .asp, access, and sql database types.
The whereami.asp file outputs the following path when run on my server:
/home/sites/siteXXX/web/snitzdbase/snitz_forums_2000.mdb (where XXX replaces my site ID)
Should I be changing something prior to this line? Or is that how the path is supposed to be? I believe my site is hosted with Apache web server on a Linux platform.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.

One question is , why are you trying to run setup.asp. if you are using the db from the zuip file, just log directly in to default.asp, there is no need to run the setup.
What happens if you go to default.asp ?

Well, I was under the assumption that despite the dbase type you still had to run the setup.asp
DOH!
Anyhow, when I run the default.asp now I get the following:
=================================================================
ADODB.Connection.1 error '800a0bb9'
The application is using arguments that are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.
inc_top.asp, line 42
=================================================================
Thanks again for your time!
