Are you using your own server, or a webhost?
Some webhosts will require that you upload your database to a database directory (could be named db, data or database). You'll need to create a directory to place your forum files in.
a typical directory structure will look like this:
database
forum
 tools

if you have your own server, then it is fairly simple.
copy the database to a directory on your hard drive, and assign read/write/modify permissions to the IUSR_XXXXXXX account in the security properties for that directory.
now for your connection string, use something like this
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=F:\WebSites\32alpha6\forum\tools\snitz_2000.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
replacing the path above with the one for your db.
Then uplaod the files to your web and you should be ok
