i keep getting error when testing the database connection .

I'm pretty sure that depends on your web host.

The drive letter that your space resides within is different with different hosts.

I use a program called dbadmin to make changes to my access database online. I had to start using this program when the database got too large for me download to make changes to it. Anyway this program tells me the path of my database including the drive letter.

Mine is something like E:\home\mysite\etc

Anyway if you're having trouble working out your database path on the server, download this app from:

www.stpworks.com

and it'll tell you....

There's probably a heaps easier way of working this out but this is how I did it.... hope it helps!

Ok, something has obviously gone wrong!

Please tell me you backed your database up first???

You need to turn off the friendly HTTP messages option in the advanced section of internet options... then you'll get a specific error when you try and load the page, not just a file not found error.

I myself am having problems with the upgrade script... I've lodged a plea for help on str8dog's forum in hope that I can get it resolved!
