Hi,

I hope my answer won´t be very stupid.

I have made sure my host has ASP
I have made sure i have DSN to connect
But I have a problem:

It seems I have no idea how to changue my Database directoy and i think the problem is I do not know how to write it.

On my host I have a directoy called Html on wich all the web is, so it is visible from internet, it has /forum and /documentation on it.

However, my *.mdb file must be in the directoy Data, wich is out of Html.

My fail is on the virtual path, but I do not know how to changue from the Html directory to the Data one.
I have:

/Data/*.mdb
/Html/forum/everything is here except the mdb file wich is under Data directoy.

I did try on the virtual path cause the phisical I know the "../Data/*mdb but it goes always to the Html directoy instead of the Data one, what am I doing wrong?

I hope someone would be able to help.

Best regards,

Lima

You may need to go up two direcoties, if the forum is in a subdirectory of the HTML directory:-

../../Data/*.mdb

Also use the full database name incase you have other databases in the data directory.

It was as easy as ../../ as you said.
