ohhhh, ok i tried to do what you said and i got this error AGAIN:

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0174 : 80004005'

Invalid Path Character(s)

/board/forum/common.asp, line 193

An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

i did like this:

'Virtual path to database
strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath("..\private\CANTELLU.mdb")  'This is the path of the database from this files location on the server

'Physical path to database
'strDbPathAndName = "" 'Use this if you use the physical server path, eg:- C:\Inetpub\private\wwForum.mdb

plz if im missing something here tell me how it must be, im pretty much ASP newbie...sorry for being that stupid....

Sorry but I don't think you understand. If you use a mappath you CANNOThave a physical path statement in there. It should look something like:
strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath(" ..\private\CANTELLU.md b")

If you choose a physical path make sure that you uncomment the physical path line and comment the mappath line.

No you dont understand me......

Using Physical ONLY Path

Example:

'Virtual path to database
strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath("")  'This is the path of the database from this files location on the server

'Physical path to database
'strDbPathAndName = " \\nas01ent\domains\d\mydomain.co.il\user\private\CANTELLU.md b" 'Use this if you use the physical server path, eg:- C:\Inetpub\private\wwForum.mdb

Error:

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0171 : 80004005'

Missing Path

/forum/common.asp, line 193

The Path parameter must be specified for the MapPath method.

==========================================

Using Virtual MapPath ONLY

Example:

'Virtual path to database
strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath(" \\nas01ent\domains\d\mydomain.co.il\user\private\CANTELLU.md b")  'This is the path of the database from this files location on the server

'Physical path to database
'strDbPathAndName = "" 'Use this if you use the physical server path, eg:- C:\Inetpub\private\wwForum.mdb

Error:

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0174 : 80004005'

Invalid Path Character(s)

/forum/common.asp, line 193

An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

==========================================

Using Both Virtual MapPath And Phisical Path

Example:

'Virtual path to database
strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath(" \\nas01ent\domains\d\mydomain.co.il\user\private\CANTELLU.md b")  'This is the path of the database from this files location on the server

'Physical path to database
'strDbPathAndName = " \\nas01ent\domains\d\mydomain.co.il\user\private\CANTELLU.md b" 'Use this if you use the physical server path, eg:- C:\Inetpub\private\wwForum.mdb

Error:

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0174 : 80004005'

Invalid Path Character(s)

/forum/common.asp, line 193

An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

==========================================

You see i tried uploading common.asp with these 3 ways and always got errors!

what do i do?

ok when i using the mappath and the physical both (i wrote my DB path in the physical and the mappath) i get this error as usual:

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0174 : 80004005'

Invalid Path Character(s)

/forum/common.asp, line 193

An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

when i use only the physical (i didnt write my DB path in the map path) i get this error:

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0171 : 80004005'

Missing Path

/forum/common.asp, line 193

The Path parameter must be specified for the MapPath method.

oh oh! and my DB path (the one i tried both in only physical, only map path, and both) is:

\\nas01ent\domains\d\CANTELLU.co.il\user\private\CANTELLU.md b

the "CANTELLU" is not real, just wrote it here so no one will my with my DB....

Naturally you get this error when you use Mappath and still use the same syntax as before being \\nas.....
You cannot put a UNC path into a mappath statement. Use a physical path instead.

10x borg, i tried to do what you said, so i downloaded a new copy of the forum and got a new common.asp, and now i get this error:

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0174 : 80004005'

Invalid Path Character(s)

/forum/common.asp, line 193

An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

If you are using the physical path you need to comment the string thatusers the mapPath method and uncomment the string that doesn't have theMapPath method:-

Virtual path to database
'strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath("   \\nas01ent\domains\d\mydomain.co.il\user\private\cantellu.md b")  'This is the path of the database from this files location on the server'Physical path to database
strDbPathAndName = "   \\nas01ent\domains\d\mydomain.co.il\user\private\cantellu.md b"


See the ' is placed in on the top one and removed from the bottom one.
