If this is not in the correct forum I apologize
 
The forum I do admin on is not functioning. Gives below message ????
 
 
Server Error in Forum Application
An error has occurred while connecting to the database.
Please contact the forum administrator.

Support Error Code:- err_Access_db_connection
File Name:- common.asp

Error details:-
Microsoft JET Database Engine
Unrecognized database format 'E:\kunden\homepages\15\d119473827\forums\database\gpwforums.mdb'
 
I don't know much about the technical side of the forums, a true technophobe. Ouch
What does this mean and is it serious ?

This is 1&1 isn't it? It would appear that you are running the forums in a sub-domain but it has been a while since I had these hosts

I'm looking after the forums while Alex (the Boss) is on his final year in Uni'. Is this something I have to try and get hold of him to look at ?
The forum is part of a site on guinea pigs. We had a problems with disappearing posts just a couple of weeks ago.

1st off - Try to encourage the site owner to upgrade to MSSQL (or even MySQL) as Access isn't really the best Web database. (do a search on here and you'll find out why)

2nd - It seems to be a problem with the database - If you have FTP Access try downloading the database and doing a Compact and Repair

and 3rd - Move the database outside of the Root (where its not accessible on the web)

Managed to get in touch with Alex, he is on holiday for another couple of weeks. He will try and sort the forum when he gets back.
 
Thank you for your helpful posts.
