I hadn't set a DSN previously, just installed as per the instructions. That is why I don't know what it is or where to find its name.
 
Does it need a DSN?
 
How do I find whether the DB is corrupt? (it was working fine on the other host)

if you had a dsn with your old host, have you change the connectiontype to relative or physical else it will be looking for a dsn thatdoesn't exist.

also make sure the database is not corrupt, do a compact and repair on it if possible

Hi
 
I have just changed my web host from verio to finalhost. My database and ecommerce site work ok, but the forum is giving me the following error:
 
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

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

/forum/common.asp, line 260

Nothing else has changed and the Forum was working fine with verio.
 
Naturally I have looked at line 260 and it is pointing to adcon.open. Do I need to setup a DSN with my host (as I did for my database)? If so, can anyone tell me where I can find the connection page with the name of the DSN so I can ask my host to set it up? 
 
Of course, I am most probably barking up the wrong tree, so if I am as dumb as I look if anyone can help it would be appreciated.
