I was advised by Brinkster Premium Support to use this string..
strConnString = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=\\brink-premfs1\sites\premium3\myname\database\mydatabase.mdb;" '## MS Access 2000
It worked then it didnt now when i go to setup.asp i get this message.
...
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.
I have set up forums on free brinkster sites and had no trouble but now I am paying the trouble has been endless...
Code : -2147467259
Please can anyone help  |

the path must not be correct, have you tried using a virtual path connection string?

This is called a lock file, and it is not generally a good idea to delete them.
If it is causing you a problem, it is generally an indication that something else may be wrong

| I have a Premium Membership w/ Binkster as well. I tried putting my Access2k DB in the "Database" Directory using a local path just like whiterose. Same thing, some times it works, other times, the Databse is in accessible. I am quite sure that this has somthing to do with Brinkster-Premium's load balancing feature. When you hit a different web server than the one when you originally ran setup.asp, it seems to not be able to find the DB, but if you wait long enough and try enough times and end back up on the original server it starts working again. Just use a Read+Write subdirectory and make sure you password protect the db. |
