Did you change your database string? (this code:) (its in config.asp)
'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"
'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=d:\html\users\insidewacocom\database\snitz_forums_2000a.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=d:\xxxxxx\insidewacocom\database\snitz_forums_2000.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
replace the red code with this:
("\MemberName\db\snitz_forums_2000.mdb")

Search the forums here for 'brinkster', there are many examples of the connection string you need for your database on their servers.

Alright, if you still haven't gotten it setup at brinkster, here's a step-by-step for you.
1) unzip the file you downloaded from here (or where ever you got the snitz zip file)
2) inside that .zip file, there's another .zip file named 'tools'; unzip that one. That has your Access Database in it.
3) upload your database to your Brinkster account. Put the database in the folder named 'db'
4) change your config.asp file as stated in my previous post.
5) create a folder in your brinkster file manager named 'forum' and upload all the snitz files to that.
That should install the forum on your site.
If you want to give me your member name and password, I'll set it up for you. Just send me an email. ekirsch@hot.rr.com

Log in as admin (password is admin) then there should be some purple folders to the right side. Click on those to create new categories or forums
