Webwiz forum database errors

Hi

I have had webwiz forums working for about 3 months now (ver 7.01), you can find them at http://mysticteam.com/mb/forum/

I have recently had the following errors coming up after about 25% of posts:

Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'

'E:\kunden\homepages\27\d83157758\mb\forum\admin\database\spam.mdb' is not a valid path. Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected to the server on which the file resides.

/mb/forum/common.asp, line 233

heres another one:


Provider error '80004005'

Unspecified error

/mb/forum/common.asp, line 233


heres another one


Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80004005'

[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]General error Unable to open registry key 'Temporary (volatile) Jet DSN for process 0x3c98 Thread 0x3968 DBC 0x9409034 Jet'.

/mb/forum/common.asp, line 233

Line 233 of common.asp is the connection open command - I am using access database (2002) and the following connection string:

strDbPathAndName = Server.MapPath("admin/database/spam.mdb")

strCon = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & strDbPathAndName

I have also tried using:

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

But this gives even more frequent errors.

Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks

How can you compact your DB without downloading it to your machine first?

I will try trapping the errors, trouble is, it often hides the real error and makes debugging more difficult

Well I downloaded the database and it loads up fine into msaccess, so I presume theres no errors in it. Therefore the error must be with the ISP or the forums.

The error logging is a good idea, I will implement that as soon as I can
