ASP Beginner Connecting to an Access Database

[Shaun]

Hi,

I have recently been given an ASP site to administer, however I cannot get
the site to connect to the access the Access database.

This is the current connection file:

<%
' FileName="Connection_ado_conn_string.htm"
' Type="ADO"
' DesigntimeType="ADO"
' HTTP="true"
' Catalog=""
' Schema=""
'Dim MM_conn***_STRING
'MM_conn***_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=***"
'MM_conn***_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=***"
Dim MM_conn***_STRING
MM_conn***_STRING = "dsn=***;"
%>

How can I modify this file such that it connects to the database in the same
directory as the file?

Thanks for your help

hi,

sorry but i don't realy understand the code you post. Usualy, to connect to
a database with an ODBC system connection we use this kind of code :
<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Open "MyODBCLabel"
%>and this kind to connect with the file name :

<%
set conn=Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
conn.Provider="Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0"
conn.Open "d:\MyDB.mdb "
%>

MM_maybe you stop using DreamWeaver and pick up a book on ASP. It MM_might
help.

You'll want to ask in a Macromedia/Dreamweaver group, since that's
what produced the code. If you want an ADO connection string you can
use in ASP, check:
