Okay, I am new kid on the block so don't flame me...we all gotta start somewhere..But I have having problems understanding some basics..
I am getting this error..
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'
Invalid authorization specification
/common.asp, line 249
I assume that it is not able to see my SQL server because the SQL_SERVER_CONNECTION.ASP file is not filled in right...but I having problems understanding the right way to fill it in...
In the Instructions where you fill out your SQL server settings in the SQL_Server_Connection.asp gives these instructions, But somebody who doesn't know asp or programming has no idea where to type my information in...Could somebody please type out a clear example of a real string for me please.... I am not clear on it, if I should type my information before the "" or inside the "" or strSQL* instead of Servername... Or do I type the servername After the '
Dim strSQLServerName 'Holds the name of the SQL Server
Dim strSQLDBUserName 'Holds the user name (for SQL Server Authentication)
Dim strSQLDBPassword 'Holds the password (for SQL Server Authentication)
Dim strSQLDBName 'Holds name of a database on the server
'------------- The Driver Below is if you are using SQL Server (Do Not Use Unless you know and have an SQL Server) ---------------------------
'Enter the details of your SQL server below
strSQLServerName = "" 'Holds the name of the SQL Server
strSQLDBUserName = "" 'Holds the user name (for SQL Server Authentication)
strSQLDBPassword = "" 'Holds the password (for SQL Server Authentication)
strSQLDBName = "" 'Holds name of a database on the server
'Please note the forum has been optimised for the SQL OLE DB Driver using another driver

'drastically reduce the performance of the forum!
'The SQLOLEDB driver offers the highest performance at this time for connecting to SQL Server databases from within ASP.

strCon = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=" & strSQLServerName & ";User ID=" & strSQLDBUserName & ";Password=" & strSQLDBPassword & ";Database=" & strSQLDBName & ";"
