    Posted: 03 July 2003 at 9:26am

current conn string is as follows:

ConnectionString ="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & "db/Registry.adb"

I get a "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." error. Do I have to connect to the server if the script is hosted in the same directory? Basically, what am I doing wrong?

Any help really appreciated.

Option 1:
ConnectionString ="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=c:\yourfolder\db\Registry.adb"
Option 2: (make sure it is the right path from the web.)
ConnectionString ="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.Mappath("db/Registry.adb")
