this mod is intended for those that have a frontpage outside of the /forum directory which does not have config.asp included at all. Kinda a standalone thing.
for your case you don't need the extra strConnString or strdbtype at all and can delete that part. Should work just find since you already have it declared in the config.asp file.
here's what to delete from links_inc.asp for your case.
dim strDBType, strConnString
'#################################################################################
'## SELECT YOUR DATABASE TYPE AND CONNECTION TYPE (access, sqlserver or mysql)
'#################################################################################
'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("snitz/tools/snitzresource.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
'strConnString = "driver=MySQL;server=SERVER_NAME;uid=MYSQL_USER;pwd=PARRWORD;database=DATABASE_NAME" '## MySQL
