Hello all,

I installed WW Forums and everything seems to be going well except that when I try to access the Admin functions (after logging in of course), I get the following error:

Provider error '80040e4d'

Authentication failed.

/forum/admin/common.asp, line 178

Line 178 is "adoCon.Open"

This only occurs in the Admin section, but everything else works fine.

Any ideas? The database (MS ACCESS) is read/write and the connection string I'm using is the default:

strCon = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; Data Source=" & strDbPathAndName

I also tried to use the generic Access driver but it gave me another error.  I am using other ASP+MS ACCESS scripts on this server and they work fine with very similiar/the same connection strings and what have you.

Thanks!

Very strange.

For some reason it seems to think you are passing or requiring authentication to open the access database.

Maybe your web hosts can help you with this one, or have a look on Goggle or MSDN for any suggestions on why you are getting this error.

I will open a ticket with our help desk to see if they can help out.

The odd thing is that, as far as I can tell, the code you're using in the admin common.asp file is exactly the same as the code in the general one - and that one works with no problems!

I Googled around and found a few links to the MSDN KB but none of them seemed to pertain to this particular situation.

Oh well, I'll keep checking and report back if I find a solution!
