I down loaded the zip.
I un-ziped it.
I read the "read me's".
I went to brinkster and set up account.
I got totaly brainfried.

I came here, read every post.
Found :
http://63.219.181.102/forum/link.asp?TOPIC_ID=8819

Did as directed.
Didn't work.

Placed "whereami.asp" in w/mdb to locate.
Changed to info that came up.

Still didn't work.

Brinkster 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"

-------------
Here is the first part
'#################################################################################
'strDBType = "sqlserver"
strDBType = "access"
'strDBType = "mysql"

'## Make sure to uncomment one of the strConnString lines!
'strConnString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=c:\inetpub\dbroot\snitz_forums_2000.mdb" '## MS Access 97
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("\path 2 mdb as coded by whereami\ 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
-----------------
Please help.

here is what you should use:

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


replace YOURUSERNAME with your brinkster username.

The snitz_forums_2000.mdb file must reside in the db directory.
