* This MOD uses MOD COMMANDER for easy set-up.
* If you are not using an access databse type, you are going to need to create a new table in your database. More instructions in the set-up.
* If you are not using MOD COMMANDER, you need to load slash_admin.asp to start setting up this mod.

Is there no way I can make these two work together, both on a page outside /forums? That's what I was trying to achieve.

I take it the answer is no?

**** and blast... please don't make me choose! That would jsut be evil!

Ahh, well... thanks everyone, anyhow

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

/connexions/forum/links_inc.asp, line 5

which refers to this line:

links_conn.open strConnString

Now, please don't get annoyed here, but am I supposed to be including config.asp myself? Because I thought the config stuff was taken care of somewhere in links_inc.asp.

For that reason, I'm calling forums/links_inc.asp before forums/slash.asp.

I'm sorry I'm not doing this very well; thanks for all your time. I know you don't have to do this, and it must get frustrating for you guys.
