a page cannot be displayed might be that a file is missing or corrupt. What happens if you just call the default.asp page even though there is no data yet? Worst case try re-uploading the files.

ok, I contacted my admin. I don't know whats wrong. He created a special folder for access databases on my server. I put the database in that folder and then tried to open the forum again, when I hit default.asp I get this error,

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

Operation must use an updateable query.

/common.asp, line 424

When I try to hit user_login.asp I get this error,

HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found

My admin told me I needed to use this connection string to connect to the database, will this work with the forum? If so how can I use it instead of what ever it's using now?

Connection string for a password-protected database looks like this:

strConn = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
"dbq=" & Server.MapPath("/_data/yourdatabase.mdb") & _
";pwd=myPassword"

without password protection:

strConn = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
"dbq=" & Server.MapPath("/_data/yourdatabase.mdb")

Thanks.
