    Posted: 08 November 2004 at 2:57am

I have the following connection string (cn.asp) [this string is inside admin folder
---------------------------------------
<%
 ' Connection Strings
 dim Conn
 ' Add full path of database with filename here
 cnProvider = "Provider=Microsoft.JET.OLEDB.4.0;"
 cnDataSource = "Data Source =../database/Prices.mdb"
 Conn = cnProvider & cnDataSource

%>
------------------------------------
the problem is when i did upload the file on the web server the connection to the database is not working, maybe the path is wrong??!!!

i have the following folders:
- admin (folder) (which the connection string cn.asp is inside)
- database (folder) (Prices.mdb is insided)
- default.asp      with <!--#Include file="admin/cn.asp"-->
- search.asp      with <!--#Include file="admin/cn.asp"-->

Please help me

Regards,

use MapPath on your cnDataSource or give it a physical path
